Read Passage Here
The infamous Lost chapter. We went over this in our Evangelism 101 study during WNL last year. Anyone remember? I would love if anyone could leave thoughts about these parables.
I think that Jesus said these parables directly to the "sinners" and tax collectors that were listening. These people were outcasts, totally dimissed by the Pharisees and other religious leaders. I think Jesus may have wanted them to identify with wither the sheep, coin, or lost son, and realize how much God sought after them! They have probably heard all of their life how they are not good enough, they dont follow the law perfectly, etc, and never shown the true love and grace of God. How wonderful for Jesus to speak in this way to these people who should, according to the Pharisees, have no hope.
What do you think??
