Luke 15:3-5 (NIV) Then Jesus told them this parable: Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Just imagine keeping up with 100 sheep. We think we would have a hard time keeping up with 10, especially little rambunctious lambs! In the above passage from Luke, we can see a shepherd whose little lamb has wandered away from the fold and how he leaves his 99 sheep just to find it.
Do you sometimes feel like a lost sheep? Are you in need of a Shepherd? Jesus Christ is our Shepherd and you are not alone. It is also good to allow someone that God has called to be with you and walk with you on your journey. The person or people you choose should be called by God, walk in the spirit and have a pastors heart.
Ephesians 4:11-16 (New International Version)
11It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. 15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. 16From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
