L.Green ) The parable of tbe lost sheep, h one of tho most licautiful and instructive of U'O mauy tha Christ utterad white on earth. In some parables the meaning lies deep throughout, aud others reveal truths applicable tocertaiu classes. THs parable has Ibe most important tru'.h right on the surface, where every one who will can read and understand. Paul had evidently read this truth when he faid that "Christ came to save sinners cf whom bo was chief." Because he says "It is a beautiful saying." Christ tried to make the world under stand from the very firtt that God had sent Him to save it. All that kept man from understanding Ibis plain surface truth of the parable was iheir sinful con dition Ma hd become so blinded by sin tbe divine light wag t39 radiant for bim. Men w ho havebeoa in darkness a long time can not endure much light. They had eyes, but closed them to the light, lest they should see The light reveals that wftict) )? hidden, so tnau did not care to hav? bis sins uncovered, even unto his own conscience, lor when once revealed, it became a source ol annoy ance to him until be got rid of it. Christ is the true light of God, and lightetb. up the way to God, for all who desire to walk jn tbe patb, to life etarual. The parable (J jo8 net Ul'l7 teach that Christ deslfes tg sare the lost scul, but teaches that He goes out after if and searghei for it nntj) be Soils it This is a great truth that Christ is searching for tbe lost soul, not tbe eouI that is lost eternally, but tbe one tbat has become estranged from Gad by sin. QbrGt is searching for it, and In every way possible, in keeping with the Iqvs of love and justice. Where ever there is a soul to save Christ is searching lor it. Searching by His spirit and tbrouuh His people searching every where and in every way to bring tjjeiq to God, and the only reason He does not flr.d them is because tbey will not be found of bim "I have called aid ye would not answer," saitb the Lord. Again 'T have knocked and ye would not open unto Me." Christ searcheth for us, and calls for us, and even knocks at tbe door of our hearts, and we will not be found of Him. Another important truth taught by the text is that Christ never leaves the soul when once found, until He brings it home. The only thing tbat can hinder Him from Having our soul is ourselves. Christ's love for us is an active love going out after us and bringing us back, even when we bad. wandered far out from God, Tbis is the only kind of love that will do one any good, a love that is operative, active ia tha Interest of the object loved.
