Lost and Found Pt. 5 | Sunday Sermon

In the parable of the "Lost Sheep," Jesus challenges the Jewish religious leaders' understanding of God's nature by emphasizing that God actively seeks out sinners. Unlike the rabbis, who believed God welcomed penitent sinners, Jesus teaches that God takes the initiative to find and rescue the lost. This is reflected in Ezekiel 34:11-12, where God is depicted as a shepherd searching for His scattered sheep. Jesus, referring to Himself as the "Good Shepherd" in John 10:11, highlights His role in seeking and saving the lost, contrasting it with hired hands who abandon the sheep. The parable underscores God's proactive love and the secure relationship between the shepherd and his sheep, promising eternal life and security for those who follow Him.
