Isaiah 9:6

INTRODUCTION  Have you ever been travelling and found that you have lost your way?  Or have you been stranded because your car broke down?

 It’s easy sometimes to get stranded or lost.  Both physically and spiritually as well.  The prophecy of Jesus birth tells us that He was no ordinary child.  He was extraordinary.

 Why was Jesus called “Mighty God”?  He is a mighty God who is able to rescue us.  He is a mighty God who is able to save us.  Luke 19:10 – “Seek & Save”

1. Jesus knows where you ARE.  He knows the roads you have travelled.  He knows the turns you have made.  He knows your dead ends.

 He knows you better than you know yourself.  When Jesus met the woman at the well, He asks her for drink of water.

 The Samaritan women is taken aback that a Jew is talking to her.  He begins to talk to her.

 Offers her living water.  She becomes interested.  Jesus puts her on the spot.

 Her lifestyle is exposed.  Jesus does not stop there.  Exposes her lifestyle even more. (John 4:17-19)

 Jesus knows her life.  Jesus knows her heart.  Her lifestyle is completely exposed.  He knows what she had done and with whom.  Jesus knows the same things about you and me.

 He knows the spiritual shape you are in.  Do you know where you are?  Remember – Adam & Eve when God was looking for them.  Did God really not know where Adam was?

2. Jesus knows what SHAPE you are in.  In the story of the prodigal son, the son runs off with the father’s money and spends it all.  He ends up broke, dirty and in the pig pen.

 Becomes hungry and even pig food looked good.  Starts to think.  Gets up and heads for home.  Father sees him when he was still “far off”.  Runs to greet him. Hugs him.

 Orders the best robe, puts a ring, sandals.  Luke 15:22-24  What shape was he in?  Thinner, dirtier and was smelly.  Yet, the Father loved him.  What shape are you in?

 God knows what shape we are in.  Romans 3:23 – “All have sinned”  God loves us just the way we are but He loves us too much to leave us that way.  He is willing to bring us in and build us up.

3. He knows how much TIME we have left.  Only God knows how much time you have left on earth.  Hebrews 9:27 – “Appointed time – judgment.”  This verse does not talk about the number of days.

 It talks about what happens after we die.  We should be more concerned about judgment rather than how long we have.  We need to be concerned about whether we will walk the streets of gold.

 Or whether we will live forever.  Our God knows how much time we have left.  Let us make the best of it.

Conclusion  God knows our efforts. How hard we have tried to be good.  No matter how good you are, you still need a Savior.  Only He can rescue us.  Eph.2:8-9 – “Not a reward”

 Our rescuer will not come unless you call on Him.  Romans 10:13 – “Calls on Jesus.”  Jesus is our mighty God.  He has the power to seek and save the lost.  Where are you today?
