The Lost Sheep and Coin

Luke 15.1-10: There have been some great trilogies in history.  Some of the most familiar are the first Star Wars movies and for others it is the Lord of the Rings trilogy.  Or maybe even the High School Musical trilogy!  In the Scriptures we find a trilogy that is unlike any other.  This trilogy is a masterpiece.  It is found in Luke 15.  The three parables are told by Jesus Himself.  The three stories are full of culture, meaning and depth.  There is also much dramatic tension and emotion at the heart of the stories.  Above all we find these three stories to be the gospel, the greatest news of all.  Let us celebrate God’s salvation and His kindness that leads us to repentance as we begin to look at these today.
