The Parable of the Lost Sheep
(Mt 18:12-14) “How think you? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and goes into the mountains, and seeks that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.”
I like this parable very much.Every time when I read this parable, I'm moved. This parable shows God's love for mankind. God likened everyone to a sheep, and if a sheep got lost, he would spare no effort to look for it.
