Next Sunday we will learn about three parables Jesus told, one right after the other, about how much God cares for each one of us. The religious leaders were grumbling about how tax collectors and sinners were coming to listen to Jesus. The point Jesus made in each parable was that God loves everyone and rejoices when anyone comes to repent and follow God.
The first parable was about a shepherd who lost one of his 100 sheep. He left the 99 and searched for the lost one, then brought that one back and cared for him. The shepherd told his friends about finding the sheep and rejoiced with them,
The second parable was about a woman who lost one of her ten coins. She carefully swept and searched her house until she found it. Then she called her friends to celebrate with her.
The third parable was about one of two sons who asked for his inheritance and left home, only to waste it all and wind up with no money and no friends. He wound up feeding pigs in a far country, until he realized that even his father’s servants had better lives than he did. He returned home planning to ask for a job as a servant. But his father was waiting for him, ran to meet him, and threw a homecoming party , rejoicing that his son had come home.
God cares for each of us in the same way. He rejoices, with all of heaven, when anyone turns to Him in faith. We can always trust God’s caring love.
Join us this week, and invite a friend!
