The Parables of Jesus: Parable of the Lost Sheep

Jesus' parable of the lost sheep reminds us that God searches us out like a shepherd looks for a lost sheep. We are also shown that in the same way God seeks to return his sheep, we play a role in bringing believers who have strayed back into a right relationship. This is a reminder that confronting sin is not about winning arguments, but about restoring our brothers and sisters in Christ. This teaching invites us to examine our own hearts and consider how we can lovingly guide others back to the path of righteousness, just as our Heavenly Father continuously seeks to reconcile us to Himself.
