Josiah and the Lost Sheep

Read the story of Josiah, the shepherd boy, on the first Christmas. Angels visit his family, who are watching their sheep, and send them to find Jesus in the manger. He always remembers the baby in the manger and wonders where he is and what happened to him. Josiah grows up to be a shepherd like his father, caring for sheep and sometimes searching for them if they get lost. When Josiah hears Jesus tell the parable of the lost sheep, he understands God's love for his people. After meeting Jesus, he knows he has found the baby in the manger, the Savior sent by God.
