Salvation for the Straying Sheep
Isaiah 53:6
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.


I. LOOK AT THE SHEEP THAT HAVE GONE ASTRAY. The text implies they were once in the fold. You cannot go astray except you have been in the right place first.

II. EACH SHEEP WALKS ITS OWN PATH. There is almost an infinite variety in sinning. Some go along a path of licentiousness; others the money-making road; others the gamester's path; others take the Christless morality road.

III. WHAT IS GOD'S WAY OF SALVATION? "The Lord laid on Him," etc. Who is that "Him"? The One described in the previous verses. Let Christ be the object of your trust, and you shall be saved.

(A. G. Brown.)
