Luke 15:4 “ “Suppose
one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the
ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?”
If Jesus was teaching near
the mountains of Colorado:
“Suppose one hiker on a nearby
mountain is lost or falls. Wouldn’t my people race into the mountains find him,
expending all their strength and skill to bring him home? I tell you, there is
no greater comfort to loved ones than to know their lost son has been found.”
On September 7, 2022, the Alamosa
Volunteer Search and Rescue Team received a distress call from hikers that Justin,
a young but experienced mountain hiker, tragically fell 300 feet to his instant
death. Caring hikers marked the place, standing watch until the rescue team arrived.
Today, because of their caring acts, and the brave, heroic efforts of the Alamosa
team to carry Justin’s body up from the place he fell, the family has the comfort
of knowing he is not lost.
We can send Justin home to
Jesus.
We, the church of Jesus
Christ, are called to search the wilderness, the mountains, bringing the lost
home.
