Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Ever been lost? You knew where you started, had a destination in mind and somehow took a wrong turn and suddenly you realized you were lost. That lost feeling isn’t what Jesus is talking about here in Luke 10:19. When we witness to the lost about Jesus we often confuse those to whom we are witnessing.

“I’m not lost.” I know where I am.” I know where I am going.” These have been responses from those that are lost because they had no concept of what the “lost” in Luke 10:19 meant and we didn’t explain it to them properly.

Matthew 13:45-46 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

We all are lost to sin by the sin of Adam. We have a sin nature, we were born with it. We were lost to God by one man’s disobedience. God paid the price to win us back.

1 Corinthians 6:20a For ye are bought with a price:

1 Peter 1:18-19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Only when the good shepherd finds you will you know you are lost. He is seeking, do you hear His voice?
