Journey Of Life Lutheran Church

The first two parables (the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin) that Jesus told in this trio of parables are in some ways a set up to the Parable of the Prodigal Son that Jesus told to the Pharisees who were grumbling about the kinds of people he welcomed. The central figure in this whole set of parables is really the older brother in the Prodigal Son who refuses to welcome his wayward brother home. Contemplate the parables of the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin and the Lost Son in this enlightening message.
