Jesus gave attention to the one hundred sheep by dividing them into two groups . It is not complicated the way Jesus viewed this flock . Undoubtedly , the flock was like others with thousands of different characteristics , quirks , idiosyncrasies , needs , preferences , demands , and urgencies . Beyond the sheep's individualities , Jesus saw them either safe or lost . What a critical clarification to catch through the eyes and heart of Christ ! Safe or lost ! My conviction is that God sees all the people of this world the same . When God looks upon this earth , He does not primarily see city , state , county boundaries . He does not see only red , yellow ,black , brown , or white . He sees only souls , and He sees only two kinds of souls-saved and lost souls . His desire is for the lost souls to be saved . His desire is for all saved souls to be attempting to get the lost souls saved through the work of the Holy Spirit . That is why I constantly remind myself that no matter where soul is , that soul is precious and valuable in the sight of God .
