Jesus said that He “came to seek and to save that which is lost.”   He came to proclaim liberty to the captives.  He rescues for His Father, those of his own who have been enslaved by their rebellion against God and their own self-destructive identity and choices.   As Jesus’ followers, we are to go and do likewise. What are you doing to be used by Jesus to seek and to save those in your sphere of influence who are lost?  Beware, it is a messy calling.

Abram and Lot had a complicated relationship.  It was marked by disagreement and discord.  When Abram sought to bring harmony, Lot acted self-centeredly and disrespectfully.   It would have been easy for Abram to turn Lot over to all the consequences of his actions and attitudes, but that is not what we see.  Abram is characterized by interceding for Lot, for seeking his good and God’s grace in his life.    Like his Savior, Abram is a man committed to rescuing his own from the effects of his ungodly choices.

Join us this Lord’s Day, August 13, for worship at Pottsville Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church as we examine the account of Abraham and Lot from Genesis 14 and consider how we are to “seek and to save that which is lost.” For directions click here. We look forward to seeing you.
