Jesus teaches that God is a joyful finder.
These parables hit hard because every has felt lost. But this was a new way to think about God.
God is constantly, diligently seeking the lost.
People can be lost in their sin (v.13) or equally or equally as lost in their religion (v.29-31)…but they are still lost.
Be a joyful seeker.
There are lost people in ditches on either side of the road- all need a Savior.
Father, help me to value all of the lost enough to act.
