I love the scripture in Matthew 18 about the man having a hundred sheep and if one of those sheep became lost how he would leave the ninety-nine others on the hillside and go and find that one sheep that was lost.
"How think ye? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep than of the ninety and nine which went not astray." Matthew 18:12,13.
How beautiful and sweet. This is how our Jesus is. He loves us so much and does not want any of His children to perish. When we are lost, He will seek us and find us, forgive us and bring us back into His fold. Praise God! I am so thankful and grateful that He loved me enough and saw me as a sheep worth saving.
If you are that one sheep I want you to know today that Jesus loves and cares about you. We have all gone astray in our walk with the Lord but the heart of our Shepherd-Jesus Christ-has a heart of compassion and care. He wants to bring you home back under His care. Will you let Him be your Shepherd?
Love in Christ,
Tera
