An alert shepherd knows each of his sheep and quickly recognizes when one is missing. When a cast sheep is found, realizing that each minute is critical, the shepherd tenderly rolls it over and stands it upright, rubbing its legs until the circulation returns. Guiding its steps, he leads it back into the secure surroundings …

This is not necessarily outright rebellion, but rather, a failure to explore the potential that dwells within every true believer. The prodigal father’s response to his son’s reappearance was not the …
Jesus came to earth as a revelation of the heart of God. His teachings, miracles, and healings all revealed an attitude about God that had not been understood before — God wanted to do special things in the lives of people.
