Luke 15.

The parable of the lost sheep, coin and son was taught by Jesus, to reveal the heart of a loving God for the lost. The lost sheep did not know that it was lost nor knew its way back to the shepherd; the coin was lost within the house but the prodigal son of a loving father was willfully lost!

Parables are dark sayings which Jesus chose to speak, in order to hide the truth from His detractors and explain it later to His disciples. Commonly known as the ‘Parable of the Prodigal son’, many great thinkers prefer to call it – ‘The Parable of the Waiting Father’.
