THE PARABLE OF THE LOST SHEEP

-Students will listen attentively
One evening the shepherd counted only
ninety-nine sheep. One of the sheep was still
out on the mountain! Curious about the
world around him, that sheep had fallen
behind. Green tufts of grass lured him away
from the trail. He stopped to investigate
flowers, trees, and bushes he had never
noticed before. Captivated by his
discoveries, he forgot about following the
shepherd and was left far behind. As evening
came, he suddenly realized that he was
alone and far from home. He was afraid and
began to run. In his confusion he went the
wrong way. He could not find the shepherd,
the sheep, or the path home.

Night fell and a storm came. The lost sheep

huddled under a bush, soaked and miserable
.Eventually the thunder and the rain ceased.
The noises and shadows of the night
frightened the sheep into running again.
Thorns tore him and he began to bleed.
Behind him, howling wolves found his trail
and gave chase.
When the shepherd realized the sheep was
missing, he shut the gate to the sheepfold,
took his staff, and returned to the mountain.
The shepherd also faced the storm and the
darkness. He was hungry, wet, and cold. He
often stopped to call for the sheep, but he
heard no reply. He was tired, but persistently
continued to search. When the shepherd
heard the howls of the wolves in the
distance, he knew his sheep was in great
danger. He urgently set off in that direction.

The lost sheep also heard the howls of the

wolves. He continued to run until he was
weak and exhausted. He did not realize the
cruel wolves were chasing him into a trap.
Night fell upon a dreadful scene. The sheep
was caught by thorns near the edge of the
cliff. He was bleeding, exhausted, and
surrounded by wolves. He struggled pitifully,
but he could not save himself. It seemed he
had reached his end. All that he could do
was cry out for help.

The shepherd heard and came quickly!

Fearlessly he faced the wolves and drove
them away. He went to his crying sheep and
gently pulled him out of the thorns and away
from the edge of the cliff. He bathed his
wounds and applied healing ointment. Then
he took him in his arms and tenderly carried
him home. The lost sheep had been found.
