The Parable of the Lost Sheep
10 See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.
11 What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?
12 And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.
13 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.
Many children and adults believe the lie that they are worthless to other people and insignificant to God. Jesus indicated that He came to save the lost, no matter how few or how 'insignificant' they seemed. God the Father does not want anyone to miss the opportunity for salvation or recovery in Jesus Christ. God values each one of us, no matter how painful our past or how far we have strayed. If we admit our need for Him to and seek to follow His will for us, we will discover how very important we are to God and the people close to us.

yes, definitely the shepherd will go and find the lost one. And have you ever think of what will hapenned to the rest of 99 sheeps? Last Friday in the cell group which shared by Peter, he said the 99 sheeps is at atmost significant as well, they have to behave and in case the shepherd can't find the lost one and if the lost one found the group of 99 sheeps, the lost one will come back to the 99 sheeps. On the other hand, if the 99 sheeps go their own way without the shepherd and did not hold firm and strong to the team, then the lost one will not find them. (Comment by Shannie)
