Luke 15:1-7 talks about how the shepherd leaves his 99 sheep to go look for the 1 sheep. People have preached about this message before but it never hit me like it did today. The purpose of any shepherd (or any good shepherd) is to lead and love the sheep. And the role of the sheep is follow the shepherd (in that sense).
Anyway, as he leads the sheep, the sheep will... follow him! Okay, no surprise. But as the shepherd leaves the flock to go look for the 1 missing sheep, the sheep would continue to follow Him because He is still their shepherd! So likewise, as Christ is the shepherd and goes out searching for that 1 missing sheep, we, as the body of Christ/ flock of sheep, would also follow Him.
Hence, searching together as a body and reaching that 1 missing sheep!
