The God of the Missing Sheep

Luke 15:1-7

Sermon Series: "Lost People Matter to God" (Luke 15)

Outline: Jesus teaches us that lost people matter to God by describing how a good shepherd responds to a missing sheep.

  1. The Shepherd's Purposeful Neglect (Luk 15:4).
    1. The number of the sheep teaches us that God loves us personally and individually.
    2. The nature of the sheep teaches us that we cannot get back to God on our own.
  2. The Shepherd's Relentless Pursuit (Luk 15:4).
    The fact that the shepherd searches for the missing sheep until he finds it teaches us that the Lord will not give up on you.
  3. The Shepherd's Joyful Discovery (Luk 15:5-7).
    1. Consider what the shepherd does not do when he finds the missing sheep: he doesn't get angry.
    2. Consider what the shepherd does when he finds the missing sheep: he rejoices.

CONCLUSION: Your attitude toward lost people reveals what your true relationship with God is.
