One Sheep

WRAP UP

In our story today, Jesus speaks about a shepherd who has one hundred sheep... until one goes missing. Isn’t it amazing that the shepherd goes looking for the one lost sheep, even though he has ninety-nine others! He searches high and low for the one lost sheep until he finds it. Then when he finds it, he celebrates with all his friends and family!

 Just like the shepherd cared for his one lost sheep, God cares for each of us enough to search far and wide. That’s because we are all important to God. God celebrates when His people stop going their own way and turn back to Him. But we can’t do that on our own, so God sent His Son, Jesus, to forgive us for the things we’ve done wrong.
