Jesus asked a question, then answered it, knowing that we would agree with His answer. He used this to show the care of the Father in heaven for every soul,

“What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish” (Matthew 18.12–14).

Do you know of the Father’s care and will for you? Do you have the same care for all the sheep of His gone astray in the world?
