Ninety nine plus one - Matthew 18
Matt18:12-14 (99+1)
When the Lord of the sheep leaves his 99 sheep to go after the lost one, there must be a stir and disturbance among the 99. The loudest voice might suggest that he should stay and keep the sheep(in other cases can be family, church, organisation, ministry,etc) in order. And this might sound like common sense as well, to get rid of the trouble causing one and keep the remaining ones happy. But the heart of God is for the lost one. He will do whatever it takes, whatever it costs for the one that's lost. He rejoices over the returning of the lost one much over the progress of the ones that're not lost.
Do we have the same logic?
