POOR sheep are lost in the drifting snow, they don’t know their way home, not even the dogs are able to find their way; and the wind is blowing so strong and cold, that if there is not someone, who knows the way, to come and take them safely home, they will perish.
What a picture this gives to us of all those who do not know the Lord Jesus as their own Saviour. They are lost. They don’t know the way to heaven. They say some times, “We hope to go to heaven,” but what is the use of hoping, if they don’t know the way. Jesus is the way; He is the Saviour; He came to save that which was lost, and He has said, “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37). Have you, my dear little reader, come to Jesus? Are you trusting Jesus to save you? If not, you are still lost. But Jesus wants to save every one and He says, “Come unto Me.” The Lord Jesus is like that shepherd that went after the lost sheep and when he had found it, he laid it on his shoulders, rejoicing, and went home with it. Now if you are not saved, He wants to save you, and if you just let Him He will save you; and will take you safely to be in heaven with Himself. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Acts 16:3131And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31).
