The Lost Sheep
What does it mean when a person believes in Jesus?
Origin
New Testament; Luke 15
Story
Most of the Pharisees had a problem with Jesus because He ate with the sinners and allowed them to follow Him. Jesus told them this parable to help them understand.
“If one of you has 100 sheep and even if one is lost, will you not leave the rest and go to look for the lost sheep? When you find it, you are very happy and tell everyone that you found your lost sheep. You will call your friends and celebrate. In the same way, when a sinner repents, there is a lot of rejoicing in heaven.”
Moral
Jesus came to save those who are lost and will never give up on you.
