Picture this parable: Suppose one of you has 100 sheep and loses one. Don’t you think that you would leave the 99 safely in the field and go search for the one lost sheep? And when you find that sheep, you pick it up and carry it home joyfully. Then you call your friends to celebrate with you that the lost has been found. How much greater is the joy in heaven over one person who repents than in 99 righteous who need not repent?
S.P., a young man from Yangon, Myanmar, was so greatly touched by this story that he and his family are leaving the security of his Bible school teaching position to go “search for the one lost sheep.” He’ll actually be searching for many lost souls in the unreached people groups of Burma/Myanmar. Pray for S.P., his wife and young child. They are following God’s call.
