Matthew 18:12–14

Jesus said, “What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.”
Reflection

• If I were the only person in the world needing salvation, Jesus would still die for me. Does it thrill me or terrify me? Why?
• Will my attitudes today reflect Jesus’ value about the “little ones”?
