The parable teaches in many ways demonstrates God 's love through teaching and patiently waiting and watching over his people while they learn of His way through trials and errors. It illustrated His word that It is not his plan that no man perishes- All souls are important to God . The Pharassee were legalist and religious ,set it their ways to the point that they could not see God when He arrived as the messiah could not see or understand the the prophecy had been fulfilled as promised through the bloodline of David Their hearts were hard and stone not receptive to the hearing of the word of God . The old age of law and religion where sin was atoned for by blood sacrifices and stoning and other methods for unbelievers. Murmuring in the hearts on men .Most can not stand convictions or have in ability to see God's movement in a fashion not of their own. The particle Son is a good illustration and the lost coin: 1 It represent the people and family are we are today; The son that left home was restless, his position was so greater awaited him beyond working that his father had prepared for him at home , his unwillingness to stay home and work the family business or until such time his father would give him his inheritance He asked for it to go into the world to seek pleasure. This is a great loss for the father who has pure love with the best intent purpose and plan place on his life and soul. The father now has to place son life in God's hand with faith that the son repents. When the lost son is convicted in his spirit and sees his faults he returns home and repents. He is now free from the bondage he carried and can re enter into the life of abundant blessing.Same as the loss coin the restoration of some valuable has been returned the owner is full of praises and celebration . We should seeking out the lost in oour community with love and kindiness as Christ has for all willing to follow him.
