The answer is: On his shoulders

Luke 15:5

In the Parable of the Lost Sheep found in Luke 15, we see a vivid portrayal of divine love and care moving through imagery that is both relatable and profound. Picture a shepherd, a figure intimately familiar with his flock, having compassion for even one lost sheep among the ninety-nine. This isn't just any ordinary rescue scene; it encompasses the spirit of dedication. When the shepherd carries the found sheep on his shoulders, it's a display of affection, protection, and restoration.

This action speaks volumes! In the ancient Near Eastern culture, sheep were not only valuable but were also symbolic of community— alluding to connection and the shared journey of faith. When the shepherd hoists the sheep over his shoulders, it's reflective of the way one would care for family or friends. Additionally, if we look deeper, there’s a beautiful echo of the Savior carrying burdens—like angels that carry us during moments of hardship. This act undeniably conveys a theme of redemption and underscores the worth of each individual.

Interestingly, this passage also resonates with the frequent use of shepherd imagery throughout the Bible. From Psalm 23's assurance of guidance to Ezekiel’s prophecy of a faithful shepherd, these themes remind us that compassion and care are at the heart of spiritual leadership. So, next time you hear about the lost sheep, remember it’s not just a story; it’s an invitation to reflect on care, community, and the chains of love that bind us together!
