—Luke 15:1-10
by: Gabrielle Watt.
Again, in this passage, the Pharisees questioned why Jesus was associating with sinners. Apparently, they did not understand the answer they had received from Him in Luke 5:32. Regardless of the Pharisees confusion, Jesus continued to teach those sinners. In verses 3-10, He told the parable of the lost sheep. This story is an illustration of how heaven rejoices when a sinner (a lost sheep) repents and turns their life over to the Lord. We too should rejoice when a lost sheep enters the fold, regardless of who they are or what their background is.
