(Matthew 18:12)<br /><br />In this way, Yeshua showed us that even the lowliest among us <br />is to be fully welcomed into the kingdom to come.<br />Arieh synch: They want us to have the heart of a Sheppard, to look around us, to watch the sheep, to be ready if a sheep is sick, to go to help; they want us to look around us on people, and to see the miserable, to see the weak ones, to see those who need encouragement.
