I think the Lord shares with us a motto we are familiar with here.
Where We Go One, We Go All.
Except for those who won’t come along.
They have a choice that he Loves them enough to give them.
Like us, would not the Lord fear to lose them?
I think The Lord can fit a whole lifetime of meaning into
“The Fear of The Lord”.
“What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it. And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep that was lost.”
