The Lost Sheep
Luke 15, 1-7
MANY PEOPLE COME TO JESUS. THE PEOPLE ARE VERY BAD, FOR EXAMPLE SOME ARE THIEVES. THEY DID MANY WRONG THINGS.
SOME OF THE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE SEE JESUS AND COMPLAIN: „WHY DO YOU EAT WITH THIEVES AND OTHER BAD PEOPLE?“
JESUS SAYS:
„LISTEN! I WILL NOW TELL YOU A STORY. “
„A SHEPHERD HAS MANY SHEEP. HE HAS 100 SHEEP!“
„THE SHEPHERD COUNTS HIS SHEEP. ONLY 99 SHEEP ARE HERE! ONE SHEEP IS MISSING! WHERE IS IT?“
„THE SHEPHERD LEAVES THE 99 SHEEP ALONE. HE LOOKS FOR THE ONE LOST SHEEP.“
„THE SHEPHERD CONTINUES SEARCHING. FINALLY HE FINDS THE SHEEP! THE SHEPHERD IS VERY HAPPY!“
„THE SHEPHERD IS HAPPY. HE TAKES THE SHEEP AND STROKES IT. HE CARRIES THE SHEEP.
„THE SHEPHERD CARRIES THE SHEEP BACK HOME. HE IS SO HAPPY. HE TELLS HIS NEIGHBOURS AND FRIENDS TO COME: ‚I FOUND MY SHEEP!’“
JESUS SAYS:
„THE SHEEP WAS LOST, BUT NOW IT IS FOUND! THE SHEPHERD IS VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT!“
„A MAN HAS DONE MANY BAD THINGS: BUT HE WANTS TO GO BACK TO GOD. GOD IS HAPPY! HE ACCEPTS THE MAN! IT IS THE SAME: THE SHEEP WAS LOST, AND WE ARE ALSO LOST. BUT GOD IS HAPPY, IF WE CHANGE OUR WAYS AND COME TO HIM.“
