“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”
–Luke 15:4-7

I hear, and receive it. Thank you. We need more of this on R&S.
I was that one sheep, and I'm still in the healing process because of my zealous self righteousness that made me think I could make it without the ninety and nine.
Blessings

Anyone who would leave 99 sheep to find 1 is a moron.
Ask a farmer he will tell you the same thing.

And while he is looking for the one lost sheep, a wolf pack comes along and eats the other 99. Yeah him.

this was the same lord mass-murdering people throughout the OT, I recall.
According to some Christians, this is the same lord who gave the world HIV, as I recall.

I'm not a sheep.
Go. Let someone else lead you so you and that person both fall into the pit.
