Luke 15:4-7 NKJV
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance."
Lost sheep may be those bound for hell, lost from Christ, in need of salvation. But, as my dear friend Ann shared,lost sheep may lost on the path of life, discouraged, beaten down by the trials & storms they have faced, now distant from theflock, unable to see the shepherd anymore, not sure where to go next. Have we even alerted the Shepherd our fellow sheep has been left behind? Have we reached out to that sheep to show them the path once agaon? Be help. Be encouragement.
And if you are that lost sheep? Know the Shepherd is looking for you now.
