     | 1,192 views

    Are some Christians like missing sheep and misplaced silver? If so, what should we do?

    We are happy to look for the lost. We are happy that Jesus, at least, is willing to venture out to find those who have strayed and to bring them home for a celebration. The problem is, at some point, many of us give up on the lost. We give up, but Jesus Goes to get you, to find the lost.
