Doesn’t he 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. “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them.Jesus gave us two parables that relate directly to this. I have been working on this, not because others don’t need my help but to be sensitive to how others feel.
Sure, there is a little selfishness, because I want to be seen helping, but that’s not the primary factor.
