Lost Sheep

And so the story continues with more of the miracles Christ performs.

What I found interesting is that Luke does not mention Jesus walking on water. In Mark 6:45-56, John 6:15-24, and Matthew 14:22-36 it does. Luke is the only one missing the information of it happening. Does this mean the other Gospels have more truth or does this mean that Luke just forgot to mention the happening?

Luke also had many strange stories. Some of them were about people asking Jesus all these questions that sometimes couldn't be answered. One part of the Gospel tells about Jesus talking about a metaphor about lost sheep: "What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing...I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentence." (Luke 15:4-7)

Christ is comparing lost sheep and the happiness of finding the lost sheep to that of heaven. Thinking about it I could never imagine Jesus or some other god-like-being sporting a metaphor comparing lost sheep to heaven. I'm sure you understand. It seems almost unruly of him to do so but yet him saying it made the comparison make sense. The quote says to us that the type of joy you get from finding your lost sheep is felt in heaven if you repent and do not sin. It says that more then ninety-nine people can repent and make it to paradise.
