Seeking the Lost ... Serving the Found!

09/06/2026

When danger strikes, most people instinctively move away from it. Fire, violence, accidents, and disasters trigger a natural desire to find protection and safety. Yet first responders do the opposite. Firefighters, police officers, and paramedics run toward the very scenes others are fleeing. They enter burning buildings, approach violent situations, and kneel beside the injured in chaotic moments. This response is unexpected because it goes against basic human instinct.

Today God calls us to be spiritual first responders when we see people in trouble because of sin. Instead of self-preservation and comfort, we choose service to them and to our Lord. Our motive is the grace of God and his desire for the salvation of all mankind.

Some teach that if a person follows God, God responds by granting worldly prosperity and peace. However, the Bible explains that if we are part of the Church of God, we will have to bear crosses. Believers suffer in this world, sometimes just because they are believers.

Why bother? We carry our crosses in gratitude for Jesus carrying his cross, the one far too heavy for us because it was weighted down with our sin. We carry our crosses because we know that in those moments of struggle, we are forced to turn to Christ and rely on his strength. This is the unexpected path – the one Jesus himself walked. So, as Jesus did, we bear the cross before we wear the crown.

Developing young Christian leaders is a focus of our multi-grade classrooms. Thinking back, did an older student ever make a difference in your life when you were little?

Jesus asked, “Who do you say I am?” It’s the most important question in the world, and it is a question every human being must answer. Today, as in Jesus’ day, there is no shortage of answers offered to the question. The expected answer may be dead wrong. But the real answer - the truth - is unexpected. And, just as unexpected, is the truth about those entrusted with his work.

“All are welcome!” Is that true at our church? Or is church meant only for people of the right heritage who behave the right way - “good church folk”? Is it conceivable that a stranger could walk into church unexpectedly and for some reason, you would ask yourself, “What is someone like that doing here?”

Or perhaps you ask that question about yourself. “There seem to be godly people here. I’m not like them. Do I really belong?”

Today Jesus shows us that the Church is for all people. All of us, regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, or social status, have the same problem of sin. More importantly, we all have the same solution: our Savior.

I trust the plants will get watered… when I see it raining outside. I trust that I’ll have plenty to pay the bills… when the checking account balance is hefty. I trust that I won’t go hungry… when the fridge and pantry are stocked.

But when there are no gray clouds? When the account balance is barely above water? When I can clearly see the back of the fridge and pantry? Trust doesn’t come so easily during those times. How foolish of us, though, to presume that what we see with our eyes is more reliable than what God promises in his Word: he will provide. Always.
