If a man has 100 sheep, but one of the sheep becomes lost, then the man will leave the other 99 sheep on the hill. He will go to look for the lost sheep. Right? And if the man finds the lost sheep, the man is happier about that one sheep than about the 99 sheep that were never lost. I tell you the truth. In the same way, your Father in heaven does not want any of these little children to be lost. ~ Matthew 18: 12-14
In life, we may lose our way and totally get lost and be with the sinners walking down the dark tunnel searching for that sole light and gasping for air to breathe. Like everyone else, we have committed a lot of sins and wrong doings in our lives. We rebel and forget who we are and what our purpose of existence is. But just like a lost sheep, the master will always look for the lost one. No matter how dirty we are, the Lord will always cleanse us. His desire to see the lost sheep return to Him, despite having ninety nine other sheep, despite the sinful and rebellious lost sheep, the Lord will always joyfully receive it back. Just as He does when we repent our sins and return to Him.
I was once on that lonely tunnel wandering and I’m so glad that I found the light at the end of it.
