Lost
Matthew 16:26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?


What volumes of meaning there are in that one word lost. A ship lost — a traveller lost — a brother lost — a parent lost — and, notwithstanding every effort to save, all as nothing to a lost soul.

(C. T. Pizey, B. A.)
