THE GOOD SHEPHERD

Sermon Description:

In Luke 15, Jesus tells one of His most famous series of stories, and starts by painting a stirring picture of the human condition. Jesus says that humanity is like a sheep that’s been lost. This isn’t an indictment on the sheep necessarily. It’s not that the sheep is bad. It’s that the sheep is bad off. Traditional Christian language is that we are hopelessly lost in our sin, which blinds us to our true condition and even to the reality that we even need an outside intervention from God. But as the story continues, Jesus reveals the most startling truth: that God is like a good shepherd, who leaves the 99 other sheep, and goes off into the night and dark to find that one sheep. This is very good news.
