In Luke 15.1-7 we read the story of a shepherd with 100 sheep. When one runs away, the shepherd leaves the 99 to go find that lost sheep. When he returns with the lost one, there is great rejoicing!
Now imagine the same flock of 100 sheep, but this time 95 of the sheep have become lost and only 5 sheep remain. How much more will the shepherd be compelled to go and find those which are lost. The task will take much more time and will require the help of many people. This is the scenario in many nations today, where over 95 percent of all people do not have a living, vibrant relationship with Jesus.
