We Are Lost - Mark 5:1-15 Pain / Promise: We are lost / Jesus finds us and gives us purpose

It's easy to become lost in this world. Whether we intentionally stray from God, seeking to run from him, or we find ourselves slowly drifting and tempted from him, we all can feel lost. When the things we hope give us purpose and freedom are taken from us, that is when we are lost. We seek other things to rescue us, strengthen us, give us freedom, give us what we desire, but these all fall flat at some point. Jesus was sent to seek and save the lost. He finds and saves the man suffering from demon possession in Gentile country. He finds and saves you by sending his Holy Spirit to you, and saving you from your sin and giving you true salvation and freedom in him. Not only that, but just as he did for the man, he gives you purpose, by sending you out that by his Holy Spirit, he may use you to seek and save the lost with his Gospel promises.
