How does God seek out sinners according to the sermon?

Answered in 1 source

God compels sinners to come to Him through His sovereign grace.

The sermon illustrates that just like King David sought out Mephibosheth, who could not come on his own due to his lameness, God actively seeks sinners through His grace. The act of fetching Mephibosheth symbolizes how God draws individuals to Himself. Jesus stated that no one can come to Him unless the Father draws them (John 6:44). This reflects the idea that it is God's sovereign initiative that brings repentance and belief, ensuring that those whom He calls are brought to salvation, not based on their efforts but entirely on His grace.
