Matthew 18:12 - What do you think? If a person has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does that person not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that was lost?
God will risk it all to save even one. That seems counter intuitive to me. Yet, this question shows how important sheep were to the shepherds and by analogy how important we are, or how important children are, the vulnerable ones of society to God. God wants us to risk losing the life, friends and family we have to search for those whom God loves and society has cast away. That is not an easy or insignificant thing to do. It takes God's gifts of courage and grace. Let us pray for those today.
