Jesus is asked why he associates with non-religious people. He explains that given a choice between the need of one person to find God, or the needs of 99 people who already know God, that Jesus would choose the 1 person every time. (and heaven rejoices that decision)
So what about us, the so-called followers of Christ? Would we, as a church, make the same choice? Would we put first the needs of those who are yet to know God? Even if it meant leaving 99 church-goers "in the wilderness". (verse 4, NLT)
I suspect we have a lot of room for improvement in this area. Or, as i've heard it described...
We've gone from being "fishers of men" to being keepers of the aquarium.
