The Lord is searching...
“‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. EZEKIEL 34:11-12
Imagine being pursued and courted by someone who loves you and desires your love in return. This is the story of romance. This is God's story for humanity!
The Lord is searching for his precious people. His foremost desire is that all people would come to know Him. It's as if we're buried under the rubble after a massive earthquake and the Lord is searching...calling out...waiting for a response...
Rejoice! The rescue team has arrived!
The Lord "wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time." 1 TIMOTHY 2:4-6
In the season of Advent, we are waiting and anticipating the birth of the king! This king is not merely sitting upon His mighty throne, he is in the rubble searching.
Every person is being sought after!
The Lord of creation calls out...and when we answer...there is rejoicing in the heavenly realms!
Then...the Lord says:
They will be called the Holy People,
the Redeemed of the Lord;
and you will be called Sought After,
the City No Longer Deserted. ISAIAH 62:12
It's the third week of Advent... the king is coming!
Respond and Rejoice!
