LUKE 15:1-7

Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."

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."

I’m a baaaaad sheep....................

[Hebrews 11:6]

I have some goooooood news.....................

[etabeta]

Mosaics and stained glass windows!! Yes! Superb Nathan Greene and all of the Yongsung Kim paintings. What a visual feast!

[left that other site]

Notice that it is a SHEEP (adult) animal that strays, not a precious, innocent Lamb (immature sheep). The Good Shepherd is risking His Life, and leaving the 99 over an adult sheep who has stupidly wandered off.

There’s hope for all of us, no matter how old, jaded, “experienced”, or stuck in our ways we may be.

[Hebrews 11:6]

A feast, eh? Never thought of myself as a chef....

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks for that encouragement.

True story: one of my daughters came home with a lost lamb she had found. Our home is near a dry creekbed which a shepherd was using for his flock. She was disappointed when I insisted she return the baby to its mother.

[left that other site]

Indeed! I remember you sharing that story about the Baby Lamb when we were studying “Lambs, Sheep, and Shepherds” on the J-Thread.

That study went on for months, and I’ll bet we STILL didn’t get all the Biblical References into it.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You mean that you actually pay attention to me? You are a member of a very select group.

[spankalib]

NC Wyeth #20, just beautiful. Subtly captures the aftereffects of the shepherd's efforts without the dramatic cliff-hanging etc. scenery.

His art is at the root of my childhood.

[etabeta]

Wyeth remains one of the great American illustrators of a time that no longer exists. I also love the paintings of his son Andrew and I understand his grandson James was also an artist.

Just had to look up this song I had the children in Kids Church sing umpteen years ago.

[Hebrews 11:6]

That was new to me. What a joy you have to look forward to, when in heaven you finally learn the full result of what the Spirit accomplished through you with those children.
