A Parabel is a story Jesus tells to give messages. When a Pharisees tells jesus hes eating with sinners so he told them a Parabel.
Jesus told them a Parabel about a lost sheep. Once a shepherd cared for 100 sheep and every day and and every night he would check on them.
One night he counted only 99, He looked everywhere around the sheep but he couldn't find the last sheep. He went out searching for his sheep leaving his other sheep alone.
The shpahard went to go look for the lost sheep, When the shephard found the sheep the sheep had its leg stuck in the rocks. So the shephad help the sheep and took the sheep back to the others on his shoulder.
He was so happy he found his lost sheep, That he invited everyone and had w party to celebrate that he found his lost sheep.
The message of This parabel is, if you get lost stay where you are because God will always come to find you and will bring you back to him.
