Stories

Luke 15 holds three of the best known parables of the Bible. A lost coin, a lost sheep, and a prodigal son illustrate the love of our Father for His people. They demonstrate the lengths to which God will go to in order to call us into a relationship with Him. A parable is a story that gives us an eternal truth wrapped in a very earthly picture. Jesus used them all the time to teach people about the kingdom of God. He drew pictures in their minds and on their hearts of yeast, mustard seeds, sheep, coins, and sons. These parables were
meant to pierce the hearts of the people who heard them. To stick in the mind and change the lives of those who would listen. These same stories are the stories that call us to Jesus today. They still embed themselves in our lives, inviting us to live in the kingdom of God. To walk in a relationship with Him.
