    Jesus' two parables in Luke 15:1-10 are about the character of God.

    “Getting too Friendly with Sinners” Luke 15:1-10 Imagine living in Jesus’ world and imagine being labeled a “sinner” in that world. Now, I think we stumble over that term in this context because according to Christian doctrine we are all sinners, right? But this wasn’t necessarily the way ...read more

    LUKE 15: 1-10 [PARABLES IN LUKE] SEEKING SINNERS [Jesus, Friend of Sinners] Why seek sinners? Chapter 15 contains three linked parables that explain why Jesus associates with sinners. Jesus associated with sinners who recognized their need of salvation and because their repentance brings ...read more
