The Lost and Found

The Lost and Found When we think in terms of what it means for man to be lost, which immediately faced with the fact that it is so sad as a description could be given to humans. A patient can get a disabled person can adapt to their illness, a person can pay the debt of debt a person can educate himself illiterate. But something broke lost all connections. It is out of touch, to reach reality, ha ido. Media lost interest and desire, but not the capacity to detect. When something is lost it is disconnected from its owner. And when someone is lost, there is a double negative effect, because not only is the person who has suffered the loss of misery, but also the loss of the person. Both are dissatisfied, frustrated and incomplete. However, Scripture describes man as repeatedly described as lost.Man lost, because they are disconnected from God's purpose for our lives. We are in contact with our Creator, of contact with the divine, disconnected from our Source.Each human life has a divine. It is inherent in our very essence. When God breathed the breath of life ", to mix with all other elements that make up our humanity. Think about it. The man was about to have the rule on earth, but instead we have ignored the ground and we can not rule ourselves. Man was created for communion with others and our Creator, God, but they are hostile toward each other and have tued their backs on God. " In fact, we lost.The reason for our loss of competitiveness is evident in the writing. We are created to live as children of God. " But somewhere along the line, we decided that he preferred not to be the father and son. You can see this truth, in almost all relationships between parents and children. The child begins to be troublesome for the child. He wants the power or authority to do what she wants and to "act" in a multitude of ways abberant to get what they want. Lack the mental capacity to understand the bigger picture. This is the man. This we want to play God is sin. All of our sinful behavior is only a symptom of our goal to present to the rebellion against the will of our father; God.Now translate this idea into our experience and see if this is really just the way us. Ask yourself, how many times you get an "attitude" or a change in challenging behavior when someone does what they want or behave as we should think? This is one reason so many marriages are dissolved at this time. Each partner wants his own way and is willing to make arrangements for the other. We see in our homes, our jobs, our schools, communities and Govement. People all over the world cry out to God even when we call holy and who is doing the will of God, we have this strange proclivity to do the will of God corresponds to what we wanted to do all the time. Therefore, we are still at the center of our lives. It is interesting to note that this in itself is only for humans. A tree can not sin, or a rabbit or a lion or a rhinoceros. But no man, because God has endowed with powers that nature and animals have not, and the fight against its use as it should be. In so doing, we alienate ourselves from God and each other.If we refuse to accept that God has created for the high destiny of communion with him, then follows logically that we are not inclined to believe that others were created for the good. If you do not perceive one another as children of God, then you do not have to worry about them or what happens to them. In fact, if the opportunity presents, we can also try to use and manipulate others for our selfish purposes. We become "things" or "toys" to each other and, therefore, separated from each other as human beings. We are all trying to touch the hand of God against the other and the situation than others. The result is a disaster. Therefore, they are lost and can not find our way back home are "lost" because we are not able to find our self-realization and expression, as well as from God Think about this: that no are never satisfied for long. The last time that only the happiness and security is always threatened. Happiness is fleeting and we're always looking, longing, dreaming, wishing and hoping that only a couple of wishes. We are always calling the more open than ever, walking on thin ice, to get straw, bark of trees bad, living in the past pain and memories. We are so trapped and entangled in sin and crime can not establish that the situation for ourselves. We are caught in a 'belt and the endless struggle that is doomed to remain there. N. IFS, ANDS, or buts about it, you are lost and there is no escape? unless in some way, someone comes to the aid us.Well, man is separated from God because of the nature of God and holiness. God is separate from man to man? And the sin and rebellion. As you can see, this creates an impregnable dead. It takes someone as an intermediary, as it were, a mediator, if will.Who could be the man to God, when man did not even know God? Who can represent God to man when man is completely independent of God? In other words, how can the loss be? In his perfect wisdom, God solved the dilemma for us. God himself has become the thing created: MAN. Rather than wait to be like the man, he was made man. God became man, not an excuse, but to accept the same punishment for our rebellion. Thus, the barrier that separates us from God, was destroyed and the man joins God.It this is the human experience of God, Jesus calls us. Whatever Jesus did or was in his life, his teachings, in his cross and passion, in His death and resurrection and ascension and exaltation, which was really God who in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5 : 18 f). Despite the loss, helpless groping in darkness, God comes to meet us where we are and how we are. No one comes to claim that is beyond help, the situation is not beyond repair. And 'a man without hope and we believe that sin and misbehave as inclined as we are, there is a balm in Gilead to heal the sin-sick soul.As women in Scripture to find a lost coin, the father that a son lost The pastor tried to one lost sheep, so that the search for God in every person. We must not look to God, because we know that in his words, even before they are aware of our needs, God asks us. The loss was found.Saundra L.
