Sinners, Shepherds, and Salvation: A Deep Dive into Jesus's Parables

Understanding Jesus' Triune Parables: The Lost Sheep, Coin, and Sons
In this episode, we delve deeper into a series of Jesus' parables: the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Lost Sons, as recounted in Luke 15. These parables were delivered by Jesus in response to the Pharisees' accusation that He associated with sinners. Through these stories, Jesus illustrates the nature of God and His kingdom, emphasizing salvation and the rejoicing in heaven over each redeemed sinner. We also explore the conditions that lead to being 'lost' and the vital role of the church in guiding the lost back to salvation. Key themes include God's compassion, the need for self-reflection and repentance, and the joy of returning to the divine fold.
