“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
“…and when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!” Jn. 10

Wandering from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood🎵🎶
“For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls”.
1 Peter 2:25
The Lord Jesus is a Shepherd and cares for each of His children, individually, bringing us near to His heart, safe in His care, protected, saved, secure unto everlasting life.
“The eternal God is your refuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms” Deut. 33:27
