September 27 Wandering Off－Luke 15：1-7

Sheep have a very common weakness, they can easily wander away from its flock while grazing. That is why the shepherd always takes a shepherd dog with him when grazing a flock of sheep. The shepherd dog will chase the wandering sheep back to its flock like a watchman.  Sheep aren’t alone in their roaming problem. So as human beings, we can roam away from the right course and get astray as well, because we are also tempted by the “candy or sweets” of our world and fall into traps that are being set around us.

Perhaps that’s one of the reasons God compares us to sheep. It can be easy to meander and “nibble our way” through reckless compromises and foolish decisions, never noticing how far away from the truth we’ve strayed. Jesus told the Pharisees the story of a lost sheep. The sheep was of such value to the shepherd that he left his other sheep behind while he searched for the wandering one. And when he found the one that had strayed, He celebrated!  God is so happy for those who turn back to Him. Jesus said, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep” (Luke 15: 6). God has sent us a Savior to rescue us and bring us home.
