What does the Bible say about the lost sheep?

The concept of the lost sheep is beautifully illustrated in Scripture, where our Lord declares the assurance of His ownership over all His sheep. In John 10:16, Jesus mentions, 'Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.' This highlights both the universality of Christ's redemptive work and the certainty of the salvation of all those who belong to Him, regardless of how far they may stray from their shepherd. His commitment to recover each lost sheep underscores the depth of His love and the security of His promise.
