Hebrews
5:2 KJV
Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out
of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
Lately I have felt great compulsion to pray for those who
have made a profession if faith in Christ but for whatever reason are trapped
in some form if worldliness.
- In some cases it is through the
example of their parents
- In some cases it is the result of
being confirmed to the teaching of the educational system
- In some cases it is a tendency to
follow the most charismatic voice near them
Whatever the reason, some seem to get trapped out of the
way. I picture a sheep stuck in some thicket of wood or a calf fallen off some
precipice. Many times they resist the efforts of their “would be” savior. Their
fear of their circumstance has worked them into irrational fear even of rescue.
Trapped, they would be free. But trapped, they are wary of any who would help
to free them. So trapped they remain.
The High Priest was taken from men, and the Great High
Priest became man in order to have compassion on the ignorant and them that are
out if the way, Jesus Christ compassionately seeks to save the lost.
My heart's desire is to be a tool He uses to rescue them.
