The lost rover
Far out in a canyon, a supply rover has stopped and gone silent.
A made-up story in three paintings, about a young builder: “you.” Read it together, then look for Jesus in it.
1A supply rover has gone silent out in the canyon. 
2You train for the long walk and pack the repair kit. 
3You find it, fix its wheel and drive it home with the supplies.
Where is Jesus in this story?
The rover was lost and could not find its way home by itself. So someone packed a kit, walked all the way out, fixed it and brought it home. Jesus told a story like this about a shepherd. When one sheep out of a hundred is lost, the shepherd goes looking until he finds it, carries it home on his shoulders and throws a party. That is how Jesus looks for us.
“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders, comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
Luke 15:4-6 (BSB)
Talk about itHave you ever been lost? How did it feel to be found?
Pray: Jesus, thank You for coming to find me.
