The Sheperd Hunts a Lost Lamb

(A story Jesus told)


The shepherd was rich with one hundred sheep.
Each sheep is important.
He loves them all.

He takes them to find good food to eat.
Each sheep is important.
He feeds them all.

He protects them from danger--watches with care.
Each sheep is important.
He cares for all.

He counts them carefully into the fold.
Each sheep is important.
But one is gone!

He searches all night.
He hears a bleat.
He climbs down the cliff to save the lamb.
Each one is important to him.
