Maelezo ya Majibu
The parable of the lost sheep is a story that Jesus told in the Bible in order to illustrate the concept that there is joy in heaven over a sinner who repents. In the parable, a shepherd has 100 sheep, but one goes missing. The shepherd leaves the 99 other sheep and goes in search of the lost one. When he finds it, he rejoices and calls together his friends and neighbors to celebrate. Jesus used this story to show that God cares about every person, and that when a lost person turns to God, there is great rejoicing in heaven. The parable also teaches us that God actively seeks out those who are lost and desires for them to be found.

Maelezo ya Majibu
In Prophet Hosea's analysis, harlotry is equivalent to Israel's idolatrous practices. Hosea used the imagery of a prostitute to describe Israel's unfaithfulness to God, as they turned away from Him and worshipped other gods. Just as a prostitute is unfaithful to her partner, Israel was unfaithful to God by serving and worshipping other gods. Therefore, harlotry in Hosea's analysis is a symbol of Israel's spiritual unfaithfulness and idolatry.
