The Opportunity To Be Found God knew that we could never find our way back to him on our own. He knew that we would be lost forever unless he took some serious action. So he sent Jesus into the world. Jesus made it possible for us to be found – for us to be rescued – when he died on the cross and rose again. There, he took the punishment we deserve for wandering away from God and made it possible for us to be forgiven and welcomed back into a relationship with him. Being found is a wonderful way of living. It’s a joyful way to be. Not only can we be forgiven the past, we can be equipped to follow the Lord Jesus in the present. And we can be guaranteed a place of perfection in the future – an eternity with God at the centre and wonder all around.
When we come back, it makes God happy too. When people like us return to a right relationship with him, Jesus says there’s a celebration in heaven. Angels rejoice because what was lost has been found.

The great news is that this offer is open to all. No-one is too good or too bad. God can find us and bring us back no matter how lost we’ve got or how long we’ve been going astray. And it’s a way of being that’s open right now. The big question to think about is: do you want to stop being lost and start being found today?
