This particular time of year is a reason for me to celebrate. One passage in the Bible that really, really pertains to me is:
Luke 19:10 says
For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost. (NLT)
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.(KJV)
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.(NIV)
For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. (NASB)
for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.(NKJV)
No matter which way I read it, he came to save me because I was indeed lost! Hallaleuh.
