Biblical Moment 24: Bethlehem: The Biblical Story of the Redemption of the Lost Sheep
We all get lost in life from time-to-time; some more than others; some less than others. Sometimes it takes us a long time to realize that we are that one in one hundred and are indeed the ‘Lost Sheep!’ Sometimes people never realize they are lost and like a detour in the old days without GPS, when you miss one detour sign it is very tough to get back on the main road again. Denial, Rationalization, and Justification step in to transform the detour road into the main road, but only in our perception. We can become lost forever…
But here is the Biblical Story of the Redemption of the Lost Sheep for us to have and to hold and utilize in good faith as many times as needed in our lifetime!
I connect this part of the Bible with Bethlehem because of the role that all the shepherds and their sheep played in story of the birth of Jesus.
Our Father in Heaven, God The Father is a Master of Love, Compassion, and Mercy. Powered by God The Holy Spirit and the heart of Jesus Christ, Our Lord & Savior he is always there to help us find ourselves and welcome us back into the flock of human beings with a heart of love, compassion, and mercy; first inwardly and them outwardly to all human beings we meet or are in relationship with.
All Glory, Honor, Praise to GOD The Trinity Now and Forever!

The Biblical Story of the Redemption of the Lost Sheep:
(Luke 15:1-7)
Shepherd’s Field—“Gloria in Excelsis Deo”—Latin for “Glory to God in the Highest”
“The tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to him, but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” So to them he addressed this parable. “What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it? And when he does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with great joy and, upon his arrival home, he calls together his friends and neighbors and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you, in just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.”
