Essential Teachers notes:
This parable, often called the Lost sheep, is one that’s hugely quoted an a staple of Christian symbolism. It’s a fabulous passage because it shows us not only that Jesus will rescue us no matter how far we have wandered but that Jesus recognised the religious leaders faith in that he knew they did not need his help in the same way the fallen did.
