The Shepherd’s Heart: The Story of the Wandering Sheep
Explore the profound love of Jesus through the parable of the wandering sheep and its rescue in this 7-day Bible study.
📖 Introduction
Welcome to this 7-day journey through one of Jesus’ most tender and revealing parables — the story of the sheep that wandered and was rescued. This story is not only a tale about sheep; it is a powerful picture of God’s relentless love for us. We are the sheep in this narrative, often distracted, lost, or feeling far from God, yet He tirelessly seeks out each one of us. 🐑
The Bible uses the metaphor of a shepherd and sheep repeatedly to illustrate God’s care and provision. Shepherds in biblical times faced real danger and hardship to gather their flock and protect them. Jesus identifies Himself as the Good Shepherd who knows every sheep by name — a beautiful assurance of God’s intimate knowledge and personal care for each believer.
Over these next seven days, we will meditate on Scripture passages centered on the shepherd’s pursuit of the lost sheep, the joy of rescue, and the restoration that follows. You will discover how this parable reveals God’s grace, mercy, and persistent love for those who have wandered from His fold. Let this study encourage you if you ever feel distant from God or unsure of His commitment to you. He seeks you out and rejoices over your return!
Ready your heart to reflect deeply, journal your thoughts, and reconnect with the One who never gives up on you. Join us on this spiritual journey from wandering to restoration, with the loving Shepherd leading the way. 🌿
