Luke 15:1-10: In the Parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin, Jesus shows the scribes and Pharisees that we are all in the same boat: tax collectors, "sinners," scribes and Pharisees, and we are all represented by the one sheep that God relentlessly pursues. God loves us all so much that God never stops trying to find us; God never gives up on us, and we are never to give up on each other.
