Jesus came to seek
I was comforted by this verse last night as I was thinking about it. The Bible says, "Jesus came to seek what was lost." This is a profound truth of the word of God. The Word of God gives us hope in different situations.
Actually, the truth can be diffrenticiated easily. And it can be compared with a simple test of life situations. What I mean to say is, our old religion always taught us to 'seek God' and 'search for Him' in the remote places, far from society, go to find Him in the mountains, where everyone can not reach easily, take baths in the cold winter nights, or go to the destination by making your body suffer (scrolling down). Finally, if you are a normal person of the society, when you are old, leave your family and be a sanyasi or ascetic in the jungles to find the peace and God there.
When I read of this Bible verse that 'God came to seek us" it comforted me and made me to believe it. Actually, where a mere human (full of limitations) being can we find God. The Bible tells us that We did not choose HIM but rather He chose us to be His followers.
The Bible teaches us that It is He, who came to find us. It is God, who sought Adam, and asked him to come and meet Him in the garden of Eden. It is God Himself who takes initiative to find the humanity in our first parents, even when they had sinned against HIM (for God knew man in his search perhaps would never find HIM but thanks be to God that He chose to reveal Himself to his people, specially to the people whom the world considerd foolish and degrading.
We find that God Himself made a covenant with His people that He Himself will give a sign, that is Jesus Christ will come in the form of God-man to the earth. Here we find that God did not hide Himself in the mountains or difficult places but He came to the people, whom He has created to live with and to reveal Himself to them.
WE should praise God that He found us, He chose us, He called us, He predestined us, He took the initiative for our salvation, He became man, He took the decision in eternity to save us. He made covenant and He did not forget that.
Lord thankyou for seeking us, Lord thankyou for organizing things to save us. Lord thankyou for taking the initiative in all the matters related to our physical and spirituality. Lord thankyou for preparing the world before bringing our first parents in the beautiful world.
Thankyou Lord that we dont need to wander in search of you now. Lord thankyou that we dont need to make our bodies suffer to please you and to make us holy before you. We fully acknowledge that holiness come from you and not from our hard works, and rituals.
Lord give wisdom to those who are still searching you. Reveal yourself on the people, who are still praying to come to Light and Life. Thankyou for being so kind, compassionate and gracious for seeking us and finding us in Jesus Christ our Lord!
Glory and honor be to your Name alone now and forever more....
