Lost and Found and The Living Water
()
About this ebook
This book is in two parts. Part 1, Lost and Found tells us that people rarely care about something somebody else has lost. Perhaps that’s harsh but that is what Jesus was faced with. Had God lost a comparatively worthless creature? Had He lost a trinket? Or had He lost the occupant of His heart? The Bible doesn’t quite put it like that, but the idea is not far wrong. So, what does God do to find what He has lost? Jesus taught that God acts with urgency. He acts with thoroughness. And He acts with love. This study is about Jesus teaching people, who do not know that they are lost, that God is looking for them. And Jesus teaches them the extraordinary pain and joy of God’s heart.
Part 2, The Living water, reminds us that we must never forget that a desert has no water unless you come to an oasis. Some of the vast deserts in the world are very, very dangerous places. You dare not neglect or by-pass an oasis. That would mean almost certain death. These studies indicate one more thing – there can be fruit trees, perhaps date palms, in an oasis! In slightly different imagery, Jesus taught these lessons of water ‒ when dying of thirst, and water to produce wonderful fruit bearing trees. The eternal supply of this water is the Holy Spirit of God.

The Author
The writer of these studies, Cuthbert Dawkins (a missionary in East Africa for over sixty years) would encourage fellowship members to explore his Bible teaching with a companion or in a group. Members could be a resource for each other, and a correction sometimes. The riches of their imaginative efforts, that is the formation of their insights, could be balanced with sound sense.
Publisher’s Note
The main Bible passages in this Study are shown at the start of each Part. However, it may help if you have a separate Bible as you go through each Part, because with an eBook it is difficult to go back to the start of each Part to read the Gospel verses again, and return to the page where you left off.
If you do not have access to a printed Bible (and you may want to read the passages in a different version anyway) you can find free online Bibles of nearly every English version, old and new, on the Bible App you can download at http://www.youversion.com/ or find by entering
