DENNIS
Good Morning. I am Dennis Gossett, Associate Pastor of Central United
Methodist Church. When was the last time you lost something very
valuable? It is in our human nature to be distracted and misplace an item. It
doesn’t really matter how careful we are; losing something is just a part of
being human. We will make mistakes, we will lose focus, and our minds
will wonder.
This is also true in our faith. There are times when each one of us will get
off track a tad. We are prone to focusing on the wrong things in life and we
lose sight of it.
Mary and Joseph lost something very important to them on their way back
from Jerusalem, JESUS. Can you imagine the feeling these two must have
had when they realized that their child was not with them?
This incident just proves that it can be easy to lose sight of Jesus when we
are distracted. It happens when we get comfortable and our attention is
focused elsewhere. If you find that you too have lost sight of Jesus, follow
the example of Mary and Joseph. Retrace your steps and find that he is still
with you. I invite you to Central, where we can help you get back on track.
God bless.
