Find The Lost Sheep***jpman***

in #life • 6 years ago

Matthew 18:12-14

Jesus said to his disciples: "What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish."

If I were the only person in the world needing salvation, Jesus would still die for me. Does it thrill me or terrify me? Why?

Jesus is telling us very clearly that every life is precious in his eyes. Every person I meet is invaluable and irreplaceable. Jesus turns conventional attitudes upside down: the ‘little ones’, the people whom the world does not rate as important, are the most precious of all. Will my attitudes today reflect this?

    Jesus is always looking for his lost sheep. It is too bad many of those lost sheep are not in turn looking for Jesus.

      Jesus has many valuable lessons for humanity. This is a great one too. But I’m am glad I am a wolf from Odin and not a sheep from Jesus.
