The Lost Sheep: Embracing the Unseen

In today's radio clip, Pastor Zach delves into Luke 15:1-7, where Jesus shares the parable of the lost sheep. This parable was Jesus' answer to the Pharisees and scribes who criticized him for associating with sinners. Through this story, Jesus teaches a profound lesson about God's love and grace, showing that every individual is cherished, no matter how far they may stray. Pastor Zach highlights how Jesus, rather than dismissing the criticisms with trivial responses, chose to illustrate God's unimaginable compassion and joy at the return of even one lost soul. The imagery of the shepherd carrying the sheep on his shoulders symbolizes the divine care that transcends human understanding, reminding us that God's ways and thoughts are beyond ours.
