Jesus' parable about 'one lost sheep' explains that when one person is lost, he needs to be found. While the parable is using an earthly story to explain the importance of leaving 99 sheep to find the one lost sheep, the heavenly meaning behind the parable is much deeper.
The deeper meaning is so that we can understand that when one lost person is brought to Christ, the heavens rejoice! Imagine playing a part in all of heaven rejoicing!
Each day, we go about our busy lives and think only about the tasks at hand.
As Sunday school teachers, we may think about getting our Sunday school lesson ready for the following week or maybe even about what snacks we are going to serve.
But, guess what.
These things aren't nearly as important as spreading God's word and looking for that one 'lost sheep' that God is waiting for to join his flock.
It is our job as Christians and as Sunday school teachers to go looking for that one 'lost sheep' and teach our class to do the same.
Below is a coloring sheet with the words "ONE LOST SHEEP' written on the side. Have the kids color the page and take it home.
Tell them to hang it somewhere they will be able to see it every day.
If they hang it on their door, they will be reminded to talk to someone about Jesus each day. If they hang in over their bed, they will be reminded to pray for someone each night.
Make sure to encourage them to move the sheep around the house to keep reminding them of their job for Christ - finding the lost and leading them to salvation!
Let the kids have fun as they will hopefully use it as a reminder for a long time to find the 'lost sheep'.
