Today’s Lesson: Parables of Lost Sheep, Coin, SonLocation: Jerusalem
Scripture: (1 Peter 2:25) Luke 15:1-32
Description:
In His first parable, Jesus uses an animal that was very familiar to His audience. The sheep is an exceedingly dumb animal, apparently not having much sense. As such, it is sometimes used to picture the lost spiritual condition of people (Isa. 53:6; Jer. 50:6; Mt 9:36; I Pet 2:25). This parable tells of a shepherd going out in search of one lost sheep while he leaves ninety-nine safely in the fold. It is almost a universal human characteristic to go after that which one loses.
