A concerted effort has been mounted to find the thousands of missing children who have dropped from sight across America. Over 700 dairies printed pictures of these children on milk cartons. Pictures were shown in over eight million Archie comic books and in 4,000 Woolworth stores. President Reagan introduced some of the photos on television and said, "Maybe your eyes can bring them home."
Surely nothing is sadder than the thought of a young child forever gone from his parental home, without a trace.
Today's reading from the prophet Ezekiel speaks of another seeker who is looking for the lost. "I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out," says the Lord God. The Father of us all yearns and mourns for his lost ones more than any earthly parent.
After the movie Adam, the story of the abduction and murder of a six-year-old child, was shown on television, thirty-two missing children were found. While it's wonderful to have so many missing found, we can be sure the Lord God will have a better record. He will find-what he is looking for. "I will rescue them," he says.
