Matthew 18 · Grade 2

One Lost Sheep

Name Date

Read the Story

Jesus' disciples asked who is the greatest. Jesus called a little child to Him. He said we must be humble like little children.

Then Jesus told a story. A man had one hundred sheep. One sheep got lost. The man left the ninety-nine sheep and went to look for the lost one.

When he found it, he was so happy! Jesus said God does not want even one little one to be lost. God loves each one of us.

Memory Verse

“What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray?

Matthew 18:12 (WEB)
