A bearded shepherd in robes holds a lamb in a sunny, green field with sheep and hills in a painted style.

One day, Jesus told a story. There was a shepherd who had one hundred sheep. Every day he cared for them and kept them safe. But one day, one little sheep wandered away. The shepherd looked around and saw only ninety-nine sheep. He loved every single one, so he left the ninety-nine safe sheep, and went to find the one that was lost. He searched in the hills, he looked in the bushes, and finally, he heard a little "baa!" The shepherd smiled, picked up the sheep, and carried it home. He was so happy because his lost sheep was safe again. Jesus said, "God loves each of us just like that shepherd. When we are lost, He will always come to find us." See more
