The Parable of the Lost Sheep

"See that you do not look down on one of these little ones.

For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven."

"What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep,

and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on

the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?

And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep

than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.

In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing

that any of these little ones should be lost."

Matthew 18:10-14
