Subject: Should "lost" people come to church? |
Bible Note: Great post, Yen, thank you! I agree with what you have said, though I'm not sure if I agree with what you are saying. The sheep, I would assert, are the believers. Indeed the job of the Shepherd is to LEAD AND GUIDE the sheep! The "lost sheep", in my opinion refers not to one who has never been saved, but rather to one who has wandered from the fold and is in need of the shepherd to lead him back in. This should most definitely be one of the roles that the modern "pastor" and group of believers plays in the life of a wayward believer. I am in agreement with your analogy in this context. |
