There is a cut, there is a girl who apply the medicine on the cut; she hesitate at the first place as she does not want to feel the unpleasantness and pain. However, later when the cut become more severe where more infection come in, more pus coming out, the father of the girl apply the medicine regardless the pain that will come to the daughter. The cut healed eventually and the girl feel thankful to the father.
This is the same concept in our spiritual life. We are all sinners at the first place, we will never come willingly to God. Because although we know we are broken in our soul, we do not want the only cure which is to come to God. We do not want to bear the pain, the persecution to come, the rejection of the world and even to admit our sin and unworthiness. Yet our heavenly Father apply the medicine in our broken soul, give us His only begotten son Our Lord Jesus Christ just in order to clear our sins. John 3: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. It is God grace that we are able to be saved and we should be thankful all the time.
Luke 15: 4-5
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?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Rejoice and Cheer up Christian!!! Because not even one of the sheep that God had chosen will be lost. Jesus Christ is the great Sheppard and He will find those that gone astray in sin and bring him back safely .
