The Parable of the Lost Sheep - Samuel Jason Firmansyah G10D
Part 1
The Parable
"“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’"
Why?
Because there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”

Part 2
How does the Shepherd take care of the sheep ?
His voice
The voice of the shepherd is known to the sheep.
John 10:4-5
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice."
Representation
The voice here is the word of God, the less we are listening to the Word has the potential to fall into sin.
The lesser we listen to his Word, the higher the potential to fall into sin.
Mother Theresa
My secret is a very simple one: I pray, Prayer is simply talking to God He speaks to us; we listen. We speak to him; he listens. A two way process Speaking and listening.
Through his sacrifice
John 10:11
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
Jesus gave His life to protect us, he dares to fight the wolves that come to bite the sheep.
The more we feel the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross, the more we will not dare to sin.

We Are Weak and Helpless
All of us are like the lost sheep, helpless
