The Lost Sheep (Lk 15:3-7 / Mt 18:11-14)
Jesus told a story one day about how much He loves each person on earth. Here is that story:
A certain man had 100 sheep. One of them wandered away and got lost. The Shepherd made sure that the 99 sheep were safe and secure, and then He went looking for His lost sheep. He searched high and low, climbed mountainous areas and hiked through deep valleys. He searched and searched until He found His little lost lamb. He was SO happy to find that sheep. He carried it all the way back to where the other 99 sheep were waiting, and then He called His friends together and said "Let's celebrate! My sheep was lost, and now he is found!"
Jesus said, "That is how it is with each person. There is much celebrating and joy in heaven each time a person comes to Me - they were lost, but now they are found, and belong with Me."
