## Resource

What did Jesus really mean when He said the shepherd leaves the 99 to find the one? In this message from Luke 15:1–7, we explore the Parable of the Lost Sheep — one of the most well-known teachings of Jesus — and uncover the scandal, absurdity, and beauty of grace. This isn’t just a comforting story about being rescued. It’s a disruptive story about a God whose love defies social norms, economic logic, and religious expectations. In this sermon, we explore: Why the religious leaders were uncomfortable with Jesus The social pressure of belonging and “normal” faith The economics of grace (why leaving the 99 makes no sense) Whether we are the lost sheep… the 99… or invited to become like the shepherd What radical grace means in a polarized world Jesus doesn’t offer a technical theological argument here. He offers a story that forces us to ask: 👉 What is God actually like? 👉 Who gets left outside? 👉 And what if grace is far more unreasonable than we’re comfortable with? Whether you’ve felt lost, left out, written off — or whether you’ve struggled with who belongs — this parable speaks directly to us. Scripture: Luke 15:1–7 Series: Parables of Grace — If this message resonates with you, consider subscribing for more teachings exploring the radical grace and upside-down kingdom of Jesus. #LostSheep #Luke15 #ParablesOfJesus #Grace #ChristianSermon #BibleTeaching #ChurchOnline #Jesus #Faith #RadicalGrace ★ Support this podcast ★
