The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Good Shepherd
Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, taught: "What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he finds it?...
"I say unto you, that...joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth" (Luke 15:4,7)
As we come to understand that Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd, our desire increases to follow His example and serve those in need. Jesus said: "I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. ...And I lay down my life for the sheep" (John 10:14-15). Becasue of Christ's Atonement, none of us will ever be so lost that we cannot find our way home (see Luke 15).
