They will wander and eat their way till they have no idea where they are. Sheep are not the most brilliant animals. In the Middle East, during the summer, shepherds lead their sheep up into the mountains where they could find good pastures. The first story is about a sheep that has been separated from the rest of the herd. Jesus tells two stories about being lost. To be lost means being in danger of being destroyed. Sometimes it is translated as lost, not knowing where you are. Sometimes apolumi is translated as to perish or to be destroyed. The Greek word for lost in our passage is apolumi. Nothing is familiar – the streets make no sense, you don’t know anyone and can’t even speak the language. I’m talking about being so lost that you have no idea where you are or where you should go in Baghdad, or Mexico City, or rural Egypt. I’m not talking about driving in downtown Pittsburgh or somewhere in western Pennsylvania and not being sure about where you are going. I can picture a little girl standing next to a light pole, clutching her teddy bear, tears streaming down her face, her heart bursting with fear and loneliness.īeing lost is a horrible feeling.

He was staying at a hotel right along the Boardwalk. At one point he was the chaplain of the U.S. Let me read them to you, along with the introduction, or the setting. Immediately before that parable are two other parables about being lost. The third parable is probably the best known of all Jesus’ parables, the Prodigal Son, or the Prodigal Sons as it ought to be called. In the 15th chapter of Luke there are three parables about being lost. If you notice a violation in the comments, please report it so we can investigate.We are in our fourth week of looking at some of the parables Jesus told as he traveled through Samaria toward Jerusalem, toward the cross.
