Are you willing to look for an outcast from the many in-crowd? Will you spend time to share a gospel to a non-believer and leave your fellow Christians?
In the parable of the sheep in Matthew 18:12, a shepherd left the 99 sheeps to look for the one sheep who is missing. When he found that lost sheep, he was very happy for his return. This parable showcase the love of God for His people. Even you are the only one who went astray, He will spend time looking for you. The heavens will also celebrate in your return.
How can we apply this verse in our life? As Christians, we have a mission to share the gospel and make disciples. In a crowd of fellow believers, will you be satisfied to just be talking with fellow believers? Or are you willing to step out of your comfort zone? Share the gospel to a non-believer and transform a life one person at a time?
Just like what the shepherd has done in saving 1 sheep out from the 99 sheeps. The shepherd left the 99 to look for the one. We can also save a non-believer by sharing the gospel. One person at a time. If one of them will repent and accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, then heaven will rejoice.
