Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 15:5

"And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing." — Luke 15:5 (ASV)

And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders.—Here again we have a threefold series of parallel applications: the love of Jesus for each wandering sheep, bearing and sustaining it in its weakness; the love which led Him to take upon Him our nature, and to bear its infirmities; the love which leads those in whom the mind of Christ is formed to follow in His footsteps, and to act as He acted.
