About this listen

Jesus lays out how he pursues lost people and also his heart for those who wait for them. We see a couple of examples here in Luke - a lost sheep, highly valued by it's shepherd and a lost coin, a woman's significant asset. But the joy is really not about the item's recovery... would life go on if the sheep or the coin weren't recovered? Yes, and that's the very reason why the third example of the lost son hits a bit differently - its personal. Jesus wants us to feel heaven's joy when one lost soul - one human person - repents and follows Him. The younger son who chose to wander and squander in the far country made a mess of his life for sure, but what a beautiful image of repentance and forgiveness between father and son and ultimately our Heavenly Father and his children.
