students may come to know God more fully. 

Scripture References:

 Lk 15:4-7 

Parable of the Lost Sheep 
 

If any of you has a hundred sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the ninety-nine in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? And when you find it, you will be so glad that you will put  it on your shoulder and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbours and say, "Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep." 

Jesus said, "In the same way there is more happiness in heaven because of one sinner who turns to God than over ninety-nine good people who don't need to." 
 
Lk 19:1-10 

Zacchaeus 

Jesus was going through Jericho, where a man named Zacchaeus lived. He was in charge of collecting taxes and was very rich. Jesus was heading his way, and
Zacchaeus wanted to see what he was like. But Zacchaeus was a short man and could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore
tree. When Jesus got there, he looked up and said, "Zacchaeus, hurry down! I want to stay with you today." Zacchaeus hurried down and gladly welcomed Jesus. 
 
Everyone who saw this started grumbling, "This man Zacchaeus is a sinner! And  Jesus is going home to eat with him." 

Later that day Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "I will give half of  my property to the poor. And I will now pay back four times as much to everyone  I have ever cheated." Jesus said to Zacchaeus, "Today you and your family have  been saved, because you are a true son of Abraham. The Son of Man came to look
for and to save people who are lost." 

Lk 17: 11-19 

The Parable of the Ten Lepers

On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus went along the border between Samaria and  Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men with leprosy came toward him.
They stood at a distance and shouted, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!" Jesus  looked at them and said, "Go show yourselves to the priests." On their way they
were healed. When one of them discovered that he was healed, he came back, shouting praises to God. He bowed down at the feet of Jesus and thanked him. The
man was from the country of Samaria. 

Jesus asked, "Weren't ten men healed? Where are the other nine? Why was this foreigner the only one who came back to thank God?" Then Jesus told the man, "You may get up and go. Your faith has made you well."
