To Moshiach Every Jew is Precious

It is told in the Midrash that when Moshe Rabbeinu saw a single sheep had run away from the flock, he left the entire flock in order to run after and return that sheep to the flock. From this we learn how important is every soul in Israel to Moshe Rabbeinu, even when we're talking about a "sheep that ran away from the flock". And since the "first redeemer is the last redeemer" (see Shemos Rabba 2:4)--also regarding our Righteous Moshiach every single Jew is precious and important no matter where that Jew is, even "he ran away from the flock".
