4What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine ain the wilderness, and go after that which is blost, until he find it?
6And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7I say unto you, that likewise ajoy shall be in heaven over one bsinner that crepenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
So if we have a friend who has gone astray we should really go and help them the best we can because the Lord would really like that. We should do the best we can to bring that lost one back to the ninety and nice that are waiting. Like it says in verse 7 the joy shall be good because that one was saved. So try your best to save that one and rejoice when it happens. Do your best that you can it may take years for them to come back or a few months or weeks. Whatever the time it will be well worth it.
