A RELIGIOUS THOUGHT
WHO ARE THE LOST? To our Lord Jesus Christ, “lost” men were not necessarily evil men, as the world counts badness. Publicans (tax-gather-ers) and sinners, He said, were “lost,” but as also were priests and Levites; respectable elder brothers —not less than youths at the swine-trough. Pleasant worldlings, keen and money-makers, people skilled in keeping at arm’s length the church and her ministry—-these, too, were, and are, “lost” whom He came to save .. . and we shall never get much further in our evangelism until we have rediscovered what Jesus meant by this said and suggestive word: Such a re-discovery will make evangelists of us all.—Rev. C. H. Laws in “The ’ Campaign for Christian Order.”
