Jesus looked around the Samarian square. He had love in his eyes. He glanced over at a nearby booth. Sitting there was Photina and her fifth husband Nedim. Jesus smiled at them. 

" God looks for the sick more than the healthy". Jesus looked around. " Are there any shepherds here?".

A young man raised a hand. " I am".

" How many sheep do you have?".

" One hundred Teacher".

" If one of them goes astray". Jesus smiled. " What would you do?".

The young man scratched his chin. " Of course I would go look for it".

" And the other ninety nine?".

" I'd have to leave them behind". The young man smiled. " I can't lose one sheep".

" And if you find it?".

" I will rejoice and bring it home".

" I tell you". Jesus looked at the crowd. " Heaven rejoices over one sinner who repents". Jesus's voice hesitated. " Then 99 who need no repentance".
