Lost has been a popular television show. Though I’ve not watched it at all, I’ve noticed, according to the news, that the premise of the show seems to have been its undoing. The plot now is so complicated that even the most dedicated fan would be hard pressed to try to summarize it. Lost is getting lost. It’s the same for our lostness as human beings. Without Christ, things get complicated quickly. When we have no reason to live and no hope for or vision of eternity, then we have a hard time understanding or explaining our choices and the lives we live that flow from them. Advent is the happy ending to the plot of Lost: not the television show, but the state of the human race. A star shone over the birthplace of Christ. This star still shines and still guides us home. More accurate than any GPS and more significant than any road sign, the star of prophecy shines light on the only way home to God through Christ. If you feel lost this Advent, look for the star in your life. You weren’t born to live a lost life. You were born to follow the Son of God through something He called “abundant life” which leads to eternal life. Call on Him today in prayer. If you haven’t received Him as your Savior and Lord, pray to do that right now. Welcome His guidance and direction. Rejoice in His love for you. This is what Advent and Christmas are all about.
