God the Good Shepherd
If there is a God in the world, why are there so many unbelievers? Why are there so many lost sheep?
Matthew 18 says "What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost.:
If God is a good shepherd, who actively seeks out lost sheep, why are there so many lost sheep in the world?
Of course, a truly good shepherd says 'Sheep have minds of their own', 'I have left enough evidence for the sheep to find its own way back', or 'The sheep was never in my flock anyway', or 'That sheep was actually a goat'
