The Shepherd and His Sheep



Today, thinking about the love that my Brother, Jesus Christ has for each one of us....the perfect, eternal love...I was trying to remember where in the scripture it talks about the 99 sheep and how the Shepherd will leave those 99 sheep behind to go find the one lost sheep...because the one missing sheep is enough concern for the Shepherd.
Unfortunatly, I could not find the scripture but I did find a similair one, it is:
Alma 5: 59-60...
"For what shepherd is there among you having many sheep doth not watch over them, that the wolves enter not and devour  his flock? And behold, if a wolf enter his flock  doth he not drive him out? Yea, and at the last, if he can, he will destroy him.
And now I say unto you that the good shepherd doth call after you; and if you will hearken unto his voice he will bring you into his fold, and ye are his sheep; and he commandeth you that ye suffer no ravenous wolf to enter among you, that ye may not be destroyed."
I am so happy that I have a Savior who loves me and who makes it possible for me to return to my Heavenly Father spotless. How blessed we are for have a loving Savior.
