Have we ever felt rejected by other people?
If people look down on you, Jesus will look at you
If people reject you, Jesus will look at you
Why are we precious to God?
Because we have sinned
I Peter 2:25 “For you were like sheep going astray, but now you are going astray has returned to the Shepherd and keeper of your souls.
”Isaiah 53: 6 “We have all gone astray like sheep; took his own way, but God has laid on him our iniquity all. ”Sinful man is the lost Lamb.
If we are ever lost, God will look for us until we are found
Because we are weak and helpless
God rejoice when he found the lost sheep
Calling the sheep by their name is meaning with honor and respect, God will call our names if he find us
