You Are A Lostologist!

“The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Luke 19:10

Instead of judging the lost, blogging about the lost, talking about the lost, blaming the lost, avoiding the lost, or ignoring the lost, God has called us to find the lost. He’s called us to be “Lostologists”!

I love the story of the woman who washed Jesus’ feet at the home of Simon—a Pharisee and self-righteous judge (Luke 7:36–8:3). Simon had invited Jesus to dinner, and the woman entered the home and washed Jesus’ feet—a sign of hospitality, something Simon hadn’t offered Jesus. As she was washing his feet, Jesus looked at the woman but asked Simon, “Do you see this woman?”

How odd. Simon was sitting right there beside Jesus. How could he not see the woman? Yet, Jesus asked, “Do you see this woman?”

How many times do we look but not see? Who do you look at every day, but not see? Who in your world is lost and needs to be seen—and introduced to Jesus?

Let’s join Jesus in finding the lost sheep, in sharing compassion. Let’s be Lostologists!

Jesus, thank You for seeing me—and saving me. Now help me look and see everyone around me who needs to find life in You.
