In these parables God is revealing both His desire to reach those He loves that are lost as well as highlighting his active seeking to bring people into Biblical community. It is so good that God seeks us to save us and bring us into His family. Many of us are familiar with these parables.

The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin and the Prodigal Son are parables that share something of the character of God. We will highlight the Prodigal Son parable next week.
