"Look at it this way. If someone has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders off, doesn't he leave the ninety-nine and go after the one?
13
And if he finds it, doesn't he make far more over it than over the ninety-nine who stay put?
14
Your Father in heaven feels the same way. He doesn't want to lose even one of these simple believers.
