In the dense forest a road has been made, and a house has been built, so the hunters may have a place to go, and get some refreshments and warmth in the cold winter, and when they get on to the road they will soon find their way home. But when people go into the midst of the trees, they often get lost for a time, because there are no paths.
A young man I once knew was lost in this way in the woods, and he called out, “Lost, Lost,” a number of times till some one who knew the directions, came for him, and brought him out.
We say he was lost, because he did not know his way, and now I would like to ask you a question,
Do you know the way to heaven, if you do not know it, you are lost? What a terrible thing it is to be lost, and especially for eternity. It is our own fault if we are lost, for there is a Saviour who has been provided for us, and He is the way, so the Lord Jesus said,
If you are lost, let the Lord Jesus be your Saviour, for He came to save the lost.
