DAY 282
Leaving the Ninety-Nine for the One Lost Sheep
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
τίς ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὑμῶν ἔχων ἑκατὸν πρόβατα καὶ ἀπολέσας ἐξ αὐτῶν ἕν, οὐ καταλείπει τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα
📜 THE VERSE
Suppose a man has a hundred sheep and loses one — will he not leave the ninety-nine to go and look for the one lost?
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Have I ever decided it was fine to give up on one person, because I still had the ninety-nine?
📝Reflection
By numbers alone, this is strange math — risking everything to find one sheep when ninety-nine are already safe. But this parable speaks not in the logic of numbers but the logic of persons. Once someone becomes "one of the ninety-nine," they risk becoming anonymous, someone it would be fine to forget. But this story insists that even that one still has a name. Not erasing a single person within the crowd — that is the real weight of this parable.
