In this parable Jesus explains , and makes it very clear that we all our very precious in the sight of god, and he has no desire to see that any one of us is lost for ever. So he will go and see that we are not lost.

No, Jesus' parable spoke of how a shepherd would leave 99 sheep in his flock, to search for one stray. It illustrated how important each one of us is to God, and how God feels when any ONE person returns to him. (Luke 15:4-10 / Matthew 18:12-14 / 1 Peter 2:25)

Why did Jesus tell the parable of the rich fool?

Jesus tells this parable after a man in the crowd asks Jesus to speak to his brother -- Luke 12:13 Then one from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." Jesus answers by telling the parable of the rich fool. Through the parable Jesus is saying 'you can't take it with you'. A key verse is Luke 12: 21b ............. and is not rich toward God." It is better to be rich toward God than worldly rich.
