The heart of a Christian is characterized by concern for others Matthew 18:10-14: God is concerned about the individual. Christians should share that concern. "Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish." (Matthew 18:14) God's love will "...leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying?" (Matthew 18:12) The Father has no desire that even one be lost.

Those that seek high places often despise the poor and helpless. "One of these little ones" must never neglected or mistreated. Even the smallest and lowest are important because God's angels watch over them. The account of the lost sheep pictures Gods' deep love for even the smallest among His children. God is especially concerned about His lost children and as Christians we must share that concern.
