More about these Bible coloring pages
"There will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner" (Luke 15:7) is such a powerful message, and my kids love hearing it. Last week, my 9-year-old was fascinated by the picture of the shepherd joyfully carrying the lost sheep home. Each of the six images in this lost sheep shepherd leaving 99 coloring page for kids illustrates different parts of the story, like the moment the shepherd realizes one is missing. I printed these pages for our Wednesday Bible study, and the kids were so engaged! They colored while discussing how each sheep matters to Jesus. I set out colored pencils and glitter glue, and oh boy, the excitement was contagious! My 8-year-old asked why the shepherd would leave 99 sheep, sparking a great discussion about God's love for each of us. This story and the accompanying pages are a fantastic way to reinforce that message while keeping the kids focused and creative.
