2. Describe the lesson from the Parable of the Lost Sheep.
💡 Solution Steps:
In the Parable of the Lost Sheep, a shepherd has 100 sheep, but one gets lost. The shepherd leaves the 99 safe sheep to go find the one lost sheep. When he finds it, he is very happy. The lesson is that God loves each one of us very much, and He cares deeply when anyone feels lost or goes astray. He wants everyone to be safe and found.
3. How does the Parable of the Sower help us understand how people hear God's word?
💡 Solution Steps:
The Parable of the Sower tells about a farmer who scatters seeds. Some seeds fall on paths and are eaten by birds, some on rocky ground and don't grow deep roots, some among thorns and are choked, and some on good soil where they grow well. This teaches us that people hear God's word in different ways. Some don't understand it, some believe for a little while but give up, some let other things in life choke out the word, and some hear it, understand it, and let it grow good fruit in their lives.
