And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, &#8220;Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!&#8221;  I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Luke 15:3\u20137<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1852075960\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-630441081\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h3>See also<\/h3>\n\n  \n    <div class=\"row large-columns-2 medium-columns-1 small-columns-1 has-shadow row-box-shadow-1 row-box-shadow-2-hover slider row-slider slider-nav-simple slider-nav-outside\"  data-flickity-options='{&quot;imagesLoaded&quot;: true, &quot;groupCells&quot;: &quot;100%&quot;, &quot;dragThreshold&quot; : 5, &quot;cellAlign&quot;: &quot;left&quot;,&quot;wrapAround&quot;: true,&quot;prevNextButtons&quot;: true,&quot;percentPosition&quot;: true,&quot;pageDots&quot;: false, &quot;rightToLeft&quot;: false, &quot;autoPlay&quot; : false}' >\n\n  <div class=\"col post-item\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box box-vertical box-text-bottom box-blog-post has-hover\">\n            \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" style=\"width:43%;\">\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:89%;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/biblekids.io\/en\/i-am-the-door\/\" class=\"plain\" aria-label=\"I am the door\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"658\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/biblekids.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/PRBL_S01_E02_THUMB_Temaside-1-658x400.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n          \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner blog-post-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"post-title is-large \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/biblekids.io\/en\/i-am-the-door\/\" class=\"plain\">I am the door<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"is-divider\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"from_the_blog_excerpt \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the parable of the door, we see a shepherd who had built a gate...\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t                    \n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"col post-item\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box box-vertical box-text-bottom box-blog-post has-hover\">\n            \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" style=\"width:43%;\">\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:89%;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/biblekids.io\/en\/jesus-parables\/\" class=\"plain\" aria-label=\"The parables of Jesus\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"711\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/biblekids.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/PRBL_S01_E01_THUMB_FilmerSerier_Wide-1-711x400.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n  \t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n          \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner blog-post-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"post-title is-large \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/biblekids.io\/en\/jesus-parables\/\" class=\"plain\">The parables of Jesus<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"is-divider\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"from_the_blog_excerpt \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat did Jesus mean when He told the parable of the prodigal son?
