want to talk about his coming TO seek
those who are lost. There are many
people who say they seek the Lord
and cannot find him. No one ever
sought for the Lord until the LORD
sought for him.
For six thousand years God has been
seeking the lost. Christ Is the seeker
he is the shepherd, We are the sheep.
Who ever heard OF sheep going out
to find the shepherd and CARRYING the
shepherd home on his back? The shep-
herd is the one who seeks the sheep
and carries them safely home. God is
seeking you. sinner, and there Is JOY
in heaven, Today I come with good
news. the best news that ever came to
earth. The son OF man came to seek
and to save that which was lost; that
is what he came for. DO you know
the reason so few are saved now? IL
is because they do not think that they
are lost Jesus Christ has come to get
back TO Gods way every drunkard,
every llbertine, adulterer and back
biting woman who Is lost. Some or

you are not going to be lost. You can't

Satan throw dust In your eyes and
blind you. We are all sinners. God

Bartimaeus OF Galllee, who was born
blind, had prayed often that he could
see. and when he heard that one Jesus
of Nazareth was going around healing
and curing the sick. and that he could
give him his sight he prayed and looked
forward TO the time when he should
come to Galilee, and one day when he
heard Il great crowd approaching in tho
street he went and stood in the middle
OF the street and waited, knowing that
It was Jesus. when Jesus drew near
he asked Bartemaeus what he wanted,
when Bartemaeus cried: Lord, let me
receive my sight and Jesus said, you
have IT, and Bartimaeus received his
sight; and as soon as he could see he
was so glad that he wanted TO let his
old e-halred mother. whom he had
never seen, know Of his great good for
tune, and he also wants to see what
sort of looking wife he had.
God Is calling you and has n great
place In store for you. He is calling
