Why do you think Jesus told the parable
about the shepherd with a hundred
sheep looking for the one lost sheep that was the
biggest and fattest of the herd? Do you say because
that is good works? Yes, that is a part of it.

Do you say because He wants us to Love everyone,
especially the lost ones? Yes, you are partly right
again. But why did he look for it even on the

Sabbath, when the bible tells us the Sabbath is for
rest?

Do you say because it was his most valued one
of the herd? Well, yes that is also a part of it.

But, what is the moral of this story? What pulls it
altogether?

Upon finding the lost sheep in a pit, this shepherd
pulled it out and said "I love you the most."
Then Jesus goes on to say, "For ninety-nine is a
number in the left hand which holds it, but the
moment he finds the one the whole number is
transferred to the right."

But what does that mean?

Through each man and woman born, each
bears a piece of The Kingdom inside them. Scattered
into tiny particles no bigger than a mustard
seed to keep and preserve it, until it is all put
together again on Judgement Day. After all, if Jesus
is a part of us then it only takes common
sense to realize that where he resides, where His
Kingdom is, is also inside of us, a part of us.

Jesus' disciples once asked of him, "Tell us what the
kingdom of heaven is like?"

He said to them, "It is like a grain of mustard-
seed, the smallest of all seeds; but when it falls
on tilled ground, it puts forth a great branch and
becomes shelter for the birds of heaven."

Jesus used the analogy of the mustard seed, knowing
just like the mustard seed, the Kingdom is unable to
become contaminated or cross bred. Earth is the only place
where contamination can occur. Darkness knows this
too.

When woman was persuaded by the serpent in the Garden of Eden
to eat from the tree of good and evil so that she would have
as much knowledge as God to the secret of life and then shared
her apple with man, Man and Woman instead lost their innocence
of life, unknowingly giving some of their power, their life to Darkness.

God banished man and woman and sent them to earth
with the evil. God knew we must choose to separate
ourselves from the darkness that we allowed to enter
into it. Earth is our place of trials and
separation.

So now that darkness has this power on earth, it
wants to cause rift and confusion; banding an army
together by whatever means necessary so that it
can
