6 Flannel-board resentation, ook 1, nit 6. he ood hepherd 1. ne evening, Jesus was invited to a certain house for a dinner. wo men, dressed in fine clothes, were passing by. When they saw the guests arriving, they stopped to look. ne of them said, et s pretend we are talking, and let s watch and see who was invited this time to eat with Jesus. s they saw people coming, one said: can t believe it! ook who s coming! 2. t s the store keeper, said the other. veryone knows he charges too much; he s not fair! ook right behind him, said the other one, there s the biggest liar in town! on t tell me he s invited to the same dinner with Jesus! veryone knows how stingy that man is with his money. He doesn t trust anyone; he carries his money with him all the time! (emove these three men.) any more people came to watch. he news spread fast amongst them: Jesus is eating with people who are bad and don t care about anyone but themselves! Jesus is eating with sinners id Jesus care about these people? Ye, he did. o you think he cared about those who were outside watching too? He did, and He wished that they would understand how He felt about people who were called sinners. ater, when Jesus had a chance, He helped them to understand by telling them a story (emove house): 3. ne there was a good shepherd who had a hundred sheep and knew each one by name. f course he noticed when one of his lambs was missing. He left the ninety-nine in a grassy field (emove shepherd) and went right away to look for the one that was lost. 4. He searched among the rocks and bushes until he found the lamb. t was caught in a thorn bush. o you think he was angry? o, he was very happy and looked at his lamb so gently. He bent down (hepherd by thorn bush) and carefully freed it from the sharp thorns that were tearing its skin. he poor lamb was crying; it was so helpless. he shepherd put the lamb on its feet (emove the lamb from thorn bush), but is was shaking so badly that it couldn t even take a step. he shepherd picked his lamb up gently (emove) and put it on his shoulders. He carried it all the way back through the thorns, bushes and rocks, so that the lamb wouldn t hurt itself anymore. cripture eferences: uke 15:1-7; athew 18:11-14; John 10:11 5. When he arrived home (hepherd with sheep), the shepherd called his friends and neighbors and said, et s celebrate! have found my sheep that was lost! When Jesus finished the story about this good shepherd, He asked the people, o you understand what am saying? am like this ood hepherd. care about each one of you. want to help those who have wandered away from od, because they are suffering and need me to bring them back. 6. any of the people understood what Jesus was saying. hey were sorry for being jealous of those who needed Jesus help so much. uggestions for eepening (umbers correspond to paragraph numbers) 3. sk the children if they know how many one-hundred is. how them by having ten of them raise their hands an show their then fingers. sk children if they have ever seen sheep; what do they look like; what kind of sound do they make, etc.? 4 sk the children where they think the shepherd looked for the lost lamb. he children might not know what a thornbush is. xplain if necessary. sk: Why did the shepherd carry the lamb back? 5. sk the children if they ever heard of someone who ran away from home and got into trouble; ask how they think the parents felt (e.g. sad, worried, etc) 6. sk how they would feel if their brothers or sister ran away. (ome might say things just to show off; help them to speak sincerely.) iscuss how we can sometimes be like lost sheep (e.g. by not coming to class to learn more about Jesus; going with bad friends; playing outside instead of going into church for ass, etc.) lso discuss ways of coming back. opyright 1986 by ociety evoted to the acred Heart. odos los derechos reservados.
