Lost Sheep- Matthew 18:12

Matthew 18:12
"What do you think? 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?

Matthew 18:12 portrays Jesus as a shepherd who leaves ninety-nine to find one lost sheep, illustrating His care for everyone. Church Fathers interpreted this as symbolizing Christ's incarnation, leaving the angels (ninety-nine) to rescue humanity (the one sheep) from sin. This passage emphasizes Christ's unique love and pursuit of each person, highlighting His willingness to leave the safety of heaven to save those who have strayed.
