• E. He Searches For Lost Sheep

• (Lk. 154-5)

10
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? And when he has found it,
he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

• F. He Is Accountable For The Sheep
• (Jer. 3312-13)

12

• Most assuredly, I say
• to you, he who does
• not enter the
• sheepfold by
• the door, but climbs
• up some other way,
• the same is a thief
• and a robber.
• But he who enters by
• the door is the
• shepherd of the
• sheep. (Jn. 101-2)
