MATTHEW 18:14, C. H. Cayce “Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.”
In Matt. 18:12-13 the Saviour uses an illustration— a man having a hundred sheep, and one goes astray, he leaves the ninety nine and goes in search of the one that has gone astray. It is not the will of the shepherd that the sheep perish, although it has wandered away— gone astray. He goes in search of the stray sheep and finds it and brings it to the fold. Just as it is not the will of the shepherd that this sheep should perish which has gone astray, even so it is not the will of the heavenly Father that one of His little ones perish. If the shepherd will go in search of the stray sheep, will not our loving heavenly Father also find His little ones and bring them into His fold? Will He not keep them from perishing? He preserves and keeps them, and they are “kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.” The Primitive Baptist, June 11, 1911.
