Seeking the Lost

From: Moody's Stories: Volume 2 By: Dwight Lyman Moody

Luke 19:10¹⁰For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10); Matthew 18:12¹²How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? (Matthew 18:12); Isaiah 53:6⁶All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53:6)

I remember, when we were in London, they found one old woman who was eighty-five years old, and not a Christian. After the worker had prayed, she prayed herself:

“O Lord, I thank Thee for going out of Thy way to find me.”

He is all the time going out of His way to find the lost.
