Leaving the 99 don’t make since (The lost sheep Matthew 18:11-14, Luke 15:1-7)
If I had one-hundred sheep and one of them goes missing, does it make since for me to leave the ninety-nine unprotected and unguarded to go searching for the one. I mean what if a pack of wolves shows up while I am gone, I could fight them off and save the herd but if I am gone seeking the one sheep then they will devour what every they want of the herd. Who is going to make sure that the ninety-nine has food and water while I am gone and who is going to keep them from wandering down dangerous paths? It makes no sense for me to risk the ninety-nine to possibly save the one. Or does it? You know who it makes perfect sense to, the one who is lost. The one who is lost, scared, alone, and in danger thanks it makes perfect sense for the shepherd to come and look for them. In the parable of the lost sheep Jesus is making it clear that God does not look at things the way we look at them and that He greatly values all His creation. The lost sheep has a great value to God, so great a value that He is willing to lay His own life down to save it.
We cannot see the value in risking our property to possible restore the one that is lost because we have selfish agendas. We want to know what is in it for us and what action is going to benefit me the most. God is selfless while we are selfish, Jesus was willing to give it all up for the one. I for one am glad that Jesus came looking for me, because I know that if He had not then I would doomed to an eternity separated from God in Hell. I do not deserve for Him to come for me and there is no way that I can every pay Him back for what He what He did but I am grateful that He loved and valued me enough to die for me. John 10:11-18 sums it up completely:
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So, when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”
