The Parable Of The Lost Sheep
Have we ever felt rejected by other people ?
The more you are rejected, the
more you get the attention of Jesus,
the more people look down on you,
the more Jesus will look at you.
“God looks for them and
doesn’t give up, until He finds them.
At that time a person who
had Sheep will usually hire a keeper
The gates of which are access to
the cage was only made of one,
so it was not easy for thieves
and robbers to take it.
Speaking about sheep in those days, keeping the sheep from getting lost, either the sheep went away, or people stole it.
This shows that how God keeps
us from sinning, even being
tempted to fell into sin.
We are sheep that are easily lost,
easily influenced and tempted to fall into sin.
Evil will tempt us with trickery,
some even using violence.
Because we are sheep
But the Word of God says if
we take Jesus as our Shepherd and
He will go before us,
the sheep will follow Him.
The more we feel the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross, the more we will not dare to sin.
Based on the book “the habits and characteristics of a sheep”, we can discovered that a sheep is a weak and helpless animal.
The sheep's basic habit is to wander and get lost. They always want to go to the greener grass on the other side of the fence.
Sheep is a stubborn animal-
they want to go their own way
You can't teach a sheep tricks
Even cattle don't need a shepherd
,the sheep often go to dangerous areas and then trapped
They can't take care of themselves compare to other animals.
They don't think what will happen next
In the time of Jesus, a person who had a hundred sheep must have a shepherd who works for him, a shepherd must know the name of every sheep, and count them at least once a day.
Like a sheep, God carried us, he put us on his shoulder, when he finds us as a lost sheep.
God considers us important not because we are strong, great and smart but because we are weak and helpless.
