Runtime of this lesson: 32:00 minutes | Part of Volume 13 | 2015
BACK TO VOLUME PAGEThroughout His ministry, Jesus' compassion for sinners and those considered unclean raised the eyebrows of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law. God's word warned His people not to touch any unclean thing, and they could not understand why Jesus chose to keep such company. In classic Jesus-fashion, He addressed their concerns with a story, a three-part parable about a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son. In this lesson, join Jesus' audience and hear for yourself what He has to say about seeking the lost.
