Jesus Loves the Black Sheep
Jesus loves the black sheep
This 4’ × 3’ chalk artwork on bogus paper shows a lighthouse casting its beam across stormy seas. The light breaks through darkness, symbolizing Christ searching for the one who is lost. It echoes His parable of the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to rescue the one sheep in danger (Luke 15:4).
In shepherding times, black sheep were often considered undesirable, overlooked, or unwanted. But Jesus makes it clear—there are no unwanted sheep in His flock. He knows each one by name, and He loves us all, especially the ones the world has called “less than.”
The lighthouse is His Word, unchanging and steady, guiding us home. The image of Jesus tenderly holding the black sheep reminds us that no one is beyond His love. When storms rage and the world turns away, Jesus goes after the one. And when He finds it, He carries it close to His heart.
This artwork is more than chalk and paper—it is a testimony that Jesus will leave all for the one, and His love never fails.
