Seek the Lost

John 10
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Luke 15
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

Matthew 10
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. 11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

So whatever happened to the sheep that is lost? That is why we need hound dogs cause if the herd is too many, the sheep at the back cannot hear the shepherd. We need more shepherds as well.

As we said, Jesus is friends with Gentiles and there is good and bad people regardless of race or religion. What Jesus is saying in Matthews is that there are Gentiles and Samaritans who in preaching provides gold, silver and brass. The meaning of this is that in making friends, you do not need gold, silver and brass.

You do not need money, power and influence in making friends. Like-minded people link together. Like you connect with music, zombies, blogging, books and so on. You know your true friends when you provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses. Because true friends love you no matter what.

Colossians 1
15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

When Jesus sent forth the disciples is to blaze the trails. Like for us here in PH, Efren 'Bata' Reyes is a trail blazer in Billiards, Paeng Nepomuceno in bowling and Manny Pacquiao in boxing. Of course these are remarkable feats they have achieved and they are unique so you do not have to be like them. Find your niche in this life however big or small it is cause every people has a purpose in this life cause even the sparrows have a role in the ecosystem.

Matthew 10
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
