(Luke 15:1-10) What do the Parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin teach disciples about God’s heart? In what way do these parables represent a contrast to the murmuring of the Pharisees? How should a disciple implement Jesus’ value of seeking the lost in his or her own community? There is something that struck my heart. In each case, our lesson said, the person in our story sent after one single thing. In this way Jesus seeks us out individually. He could present himself to the masses and attempt mass conversion but he does not...he approaches us the same way he loves us..in the same way he made us.....as individuals.
