    The lesson from these parables is that Jesus DOES give up on some people, and that only seeing it in this way is there any good news. If you think the message of these stories is that God never gives up on anyone, I suggest you have gotten it backwards.

    In these stories we see four ways of getting lost, four consequences of being lost, and a fourfold quest for the lost.

    The Four Who Were Lost Luke 15 Intro One of my most cherished chapters in the Bible is Luke 15.
