How do you react to God’s extravagant grace?
In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus shares three stories in which something lost is found. These tales about a sheep, a coin and a son explain his approach to hospitality. Characters in the parables are shocked, surprised, and even angry as they reclaim what was once lost. Each story ends with a party. Each story demonstrates the scandal of God’s grace. Jesus says in Luke 5, “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance”.
