Luke 15:1-10
-
In the lost parables, Jesus shows how we can orient ourselves, not toward gatekeeping, but toward seeking, loving, and rejoicing.
-
The parable of the lost sheep and lost coin are great, vivid parables. But the best part is right in front of our noses.
-
In the parables of the lost sheep and lost coin, Jesus reveals both the generosity of God and our role in the drama.
-
In a reflection for Proper 19C, we look at what precipitates the parables of The Lost; and what it means for us.
-
The question isn’t what is lost or who is looking. These parables aren’t about the lost, but what it is to participate in losing and finding.
