Notes

Luke 15:1–32

Chapter 15 contains three related parables of things lost and found:

a sheep (15:1–7),
a coin (15:8–10), and
a son (15:11–32).

The loss of something loved causes deep sorrow, whereas finding it brings great joy. There is great rejoicing in heaven when lost sinners return to their heavenly Father.
