He Is Found By Those Who Seek Him

Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.  Isaiah 55:6  NKJV
To seek Jesus is to seek reality. He not only has directions for us to follow, but He is the pathway upon which we travel.
He not only has things to say to us, but He is the Truth we seek to know.
He not only has the answers for our existence, but He is the Eternal Life that we so desperately seek.

A glorious truth of Scripture is the certainty that if we seek after the Lord we will not be disappointed. Seekers are finders. The beauty of God’s promise is what we find and Who we find as the result of our seeking.
We not only find peace, but we also find the Prince of Peace.
We not only find righteousness, but we also find the Righteous One.
We not only find counsel, but we also find the Counselor.
We not only find wonders, but we also find the Wonderful One.
We not only find spiritual food, but we also find the Bread of Life.
We not only find provision, but we also find the Shepherd of our souls.
We not only find salvation, but we also find the Savior.
We not only find the Kingdom, but we also find the King.
The value of finding Jesus Christ is beyond measure.
His worth is more than a field filled with diamonds—He is a limitless treasure chest of priceless gems and precious stones.
He is more than a mineshaft filled with gold nuggets—He is an endless vein of pure gold.
His splendor is more glorious than a thousand sunsets, and His majesty is nobler than all the kings who have ever reigned.
His grace is greater than our arms can embrace, His beauty is more than our eyes can behold, and His love is deeper than our
hearts can explore.
How truly great is the reward of the one who seeks Him.

Found in Him

I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith. Philippians 3:8-9 NKJV

One of the most well-known hymns ever written is Amazing Grace by John Newton. In it is the familiar phrase, “I once was lost, but now am found.” We were found by Him because we were lost sheep who had gone astray, we had turned to follow our own way, and our Good Shepherd pursued us and brought us to Himself.

It is an act of amazing grace to be found by Him, but His grace has provided so much more for us. We were found by Him so we could be found in Him. This is the full meaning of the Gospel of God’s grace.

God’s amazing grace will never bring us to a place that is outside of Jesus Christ. Our salvation is not found in anything outward or man-made—our salvation is found in a person! Our salvation is in the person whose name means salvation, Jesus (Yeshua) the Christ (Messiah).

What does it mean to be found in Him? It means that He brought us out of our self-righteousness and into His righteousness, out of our legalism and into His liberty, out of our rules and into His life.

Jesus is our Good Shepherd who found us and brought us to His fold, and He is everything that we find there—He is the green pastures we rest in; He is the quiet waters we drink from; He is the sufficiency that keeps us from want; He is the restoration of our souls; He is the way that keeps our feet on righteous paths; He is our victory over the powers of death and evil; He is the rod and staff of our covering and comfort; He is the banquet our hungry souls feast upon; He is our Anointed One who causes our cup to overflow; He is the goodness and the lovingkindness that is our portion forever.
