Luke 15. Day 142 - The New Testament in a Year

The Lost Sheep.  The Lost Coin. The Lost Son.

"I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who don’t need repentance." -  Luke 15:9

In this episode of "The New Testament in a Year," we explore Luke Chapter 15, which features three powerful parables: the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Lost Son. These stories highlight God's relentless pursuit of the lost, His immense joy over a repentant sinner, and the inclusivity of His love. As we examine this chapter, we'll look for God's pursuit in the Parable of the Lost Sheep, the diligence and joy in finding the lost in the Parable of the Lost Coin, and the forgiving nature and the contrast of human attitudes in the Parable of the Lost Son. These parables reveal God's loving, forgiving, and persistent character. Our devotion takeaways will focus on God's unconditional love, the transformative power of repentance, and embracing God's perspective of grace and forgiveness. This context helps us understand the depth of God's love and His desire for every individual to return to Him, offering practical applications for our daily walk with Christ.
