Request today. So we hope you've had a sure sure. And could you help us Luke chapter 15. The whole chapter hangs short and have they all larger little angle of getting there is made clear by the chapter folks some things to explain why he's doing what he's saying.
First one, that all the time with them bitterness finds it on his shoulders rejoicing all together with me for I have found my sheep. Likewise, one sinner who repent, I'm just person or what woman loses one coin, sweep the house is it ends and neighbors together for I have found the wise of the angels of God.
Then he said, father, give me the portion of goods, his livelihood, and their prodigal living. Oh, he began to be find himself to a citizen of that country. Fine. And he will. And no one came to himself.
He said, how many and I perish with hunger. I will say to him, father, and before be called your son hired servants, father, father, son, and fell on his father, put it on him on his feet and bring for this my son was dead, lost.
And is now his older son was in the field and dancing. So he called his man. And he said to him, your your father has killed the fatted cat. It would not go in. So he answered and said there was father commandment at any time.
And yet you never gave me. But as soon as your livelihood for him, you're always yours. For your brother was dead, and was lost. Jesus. Son, when you think about the re talking about is get found, or what is telling these three stories?
What's the loss and something is the that is there. Something's been found happens in every all three stories. Right? Rejoicing, rejoicing. Everybody come up that lost sheep over this list. And his lost son, his son, it was something bold and then underlying.
So if you were wanting Bible was written originally to be read aloud, to emphasize something is to repeat it. For instance, in the word for very emphasized, bold, then in his passage in Isaiah's vision, he was in the Lord on his throne, and hold the basis of something.
And Jesus that he's saying, two parables, as kinds of people, he's been followers, when a fair, he sits at their table, and he sees where the religious, the religious looked upon as they in holiness, when they see that Jesus hangs out with with them, this, and the scribes, and about holiness, and they would strain the off to make.
Now, they were so careful about another tax collectors are a special then, a tax collector, the and will tyrants to pay off the occupiers. True knew the families knew the language knew the selves too.
So the whole thing was a bunch of hated the tax collectors, they were just absolutely hated that when they got around Jesus, you know, run away, stay with them face, go and sin no more. Parable, nature and the truth of the gospel.
Hey, there's nothing wrong with you. It's great with them, so that of their sins, believe in the good news. So with them. Chapter five, we have eight with tax collectors, made the whole complaint over again.
And here that that was his purpose. Came the Son of Man came to seek and go to nothing to do. So then that was Jesus saves. The Pharisees didn't think there was scribes didn't think they had anything wrong with fine and dandy.
Pharisees sense at all that it doesn't make any sense about it. Thing I'm with you know, that one sheep go and you this shepherd puts a lot in searches, finds it and carries it all. He would rejoice doesn't let's let's is found this just persons who need no repentance Jesus being sorry, sin and fall short.
Okay, so everybody is in need of just persons who need no repentance. Size of them are very polished and have everything on any flaw on very extent of their life. But if you were to talk with them, vacation, they say I don't need a savior.
People who in sizes, that's a very dangerous place to be a very like practice buried in Jewish call tin silver, she would have worn during her wedding. The last day, their houses had two rooms and precious possessions down there.
In any case, this woman of her side down cleaning and see. Okay, fine. Do you know that feeling? I call and Jesus is likewise. Repents. Now we need some at the story of the parable. There's all sorts of things there.
The end of the story. Okay. The Pharisee, they don't need a savior. They can justify themselves. They are not rejoicing when with sinners. Yes, then he know how bad off those people. We just had him over to our house.
How does that make us? Now this we get to the, the older, we don't play around for you to die on my and portion because it's his age. So he gets a double portion. Then the younger son that he gets a birds younger son will get just blows it all just spins it.
And so this older son has been a state working. I mean, he's going to inherit it. Oh, he's in any celebration. Just like I did. Don't you understand what it wastes all his money on guy is and what all he's doing that is good.
It was right that we should make all for your was lost in his family. Heaven's rejoicing types of sins and centers. And that's their whole identity. Following Jesus coming identify you got a whole identity is now in Christ centers.
Such were not anymore. That's not your identity anymore. Done. It was not. He was. No, he came home. He named it. He can come back and I'm just looking for some mercy. He come home and said, if you had taught her fault that I'm in this problem, he'd still be lost.
He was alive and he confessed his sins and reality of the situation was just saying to the is worth rejoicing. And the dead is worth looking at before we turn to prayer, where Jesus, these Pharisees and scribe, and really gives, then shall I like in the same group.
Sometimes they're called lawyers. Jesus says, and what are they like analogy? What would it be like sitting, calling to one another saying, we more what you're like, he's the market. Why don't you plan?
You know, it's time to celebrate. Now we're going to say, right. If you notice that there's all more holier than you. Base is what you ought to celebrate. Hey, it's pride. And they're all and they're all games and play funeral at your Twitter.
Get real. They're games. And if they get real hostile thing in his generation, John the Baptist didn't play your games. What does heaven ritual? We should something that heaven mourns and laments over get place that mourn what to voices, their complaints, the son of glutton and a wine bibber, same complaint.
And we'll look more about the prodigal son next. In the marketplace. He's saying you have all of your should rejoice. You should rejoice when lost things get found. He's with these three stories in the big picture of the whole values are just come.
If you don't rejoice in others being very good. Very good. Thank you. Brother read, but it's hard to follow. So with that in mind,.
