Salvation

What is Salvation?

• Consenting to be Saved

Jesus the Good Shepherd

Luke 15:4-7

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁴ “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? ⁵ And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.⁶ And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ ⁷ I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

The Good Shepherd,

1. leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness
2. go after the one
3. he has found it
4. he lays it on his shoulders
5. rejoicing
6. he comes home
7. he calls together his friends and neighbors
8. Rejoice

Matthew 18:12-14

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹² “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? ¹³ And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.¹⁴ Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

• The Good Shepherd Left the 99
• The Good Shepherd go to the mountains to seek
• The Good Shepherd finds the lost
