Symbolism of "The Lost Sheep"

Luke 15:3-7

It is God who seeks after humanity, not we after Him.

As He reveals His love to us, our conscious convinces us to repent.

The lost sheep symbolizes the sinner, and the one world, Earth, ruined by sin

Of God's vast dominions, in this fallen world He took deep interest in.

Jesus, Commander of Heaven, stooped low from His high estate in eternity.

Laid aside His glory to enter this lost world to save you and me.

How will we respond to this rescue? In what way can we show our appreciation?

We, too, are called to labor in His name, witnessing to every tribe, kindred, and nation.
