Searching for Hope

“Why were you searching for me?” he asked.
“Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”

Searching.

In 1964 Bob Dylan wrote “The times they are a-changing".

Dylan wrote this in a time of social upheaval with civil unrest, threat of nuclear war, and Kennedy’s assassination.

Dylan vocalized a search for meaning in what he saw in this ever-changing world around him and the need to move forward through action.  

Searching.

Ecclesiastes’ message is that however difficult things may be because of the hardship’s humanity experiences in this broken world, there is purpose and grace for all.

Searching for an everlasting hope and satisfying life as we walk with God is part of the Christian journey.

In Luke’s Gospel, the “God of the Lost” searches without giving up until everyone lost is found.

Finding.

It seems to me the mission of the Church and a Chistian is to be about finding people traveling through one of life’s hardships by gracefully giving them a time of hope.

Finding those lost in grief, pain, or other sufferings and bringing them to Jesus in the Lords House, will give them an eternal hope.
