Jesus, Master of the Universe

I was a spoiled kid growing up. Need proof, just ask my brothers, parents, heck just ask anyone that knew me as a kid. There were certain things I enjoyed as a child and one of these things was collecting action figures. A brief list of my action figures included: The A-Team, Transformers, Micheal Jackson (red jacket with silver glove), GI-Joes and He-Man Master of the Universe. The He-Man collection was my personal favorite toys/action figures. It is a collection that I still have today and will pass on to my son someday. However, it wasn't a full collection until I had Battle Cat.

I needed Battle Cat and this would make my collection complete. I was 5 years old and this my life's desire at that time. I drove my parents nuts, because they couldn't find Battle Cat anywhere. They looked all over Western and Central PA in every toy store they could possibly find and we couldn't find him. I was a depressed little boy, well that might be a stretch, but i know I wasn't happy.

Then we started to search Eastern Ohio and finally we found him and my collection was complete. Battle Cat was now mine. I was on cloud nine and i could now fight Panthor with Battle Cat. And now when my friends would come over we were able to have more fun playing with the both cats.

This reminds me of the story when Jesus talks about looking for the lost sheep. Luke 15. 4-6, "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.'"

Jesus calls us to go to the end of the earth to find those who are lost. First we are called to our own communities, to our state, our country and then to the entire world. Are we willing to go where ever we are called to reach the lost and bring them into the fold.
My parents drove all over Western PA, Central PA and Eastern Ohio to find a toy. But they also drove all over Western and Central PA on Lay Witness Missions to seek out the lost and bring them a message of hope.

Jesus is the Master of the universe. Are you willing and able to travel all over the country side in seach of the lost sheep to bring them into the flock so His collection is complete? Unfortunately it is going to take a lot more than just one person to make the collection complete. Good thing there are millions of Christians throughout the world to held with this task. Your not alone, so join the search and make Jesus collection complete.
