Luke 15 is all about parties! The shepherd finds the lost sheep and has party. The lost coin is found and there is a party. The "lost" son returns and there is a party! And in each case there is a reason to party.
What was that reason?
In each case there was the sheep, coins and a son who remained safely at home. And in each case the shepherd, owner, father went out to search or at least longed for the safe return of that which was lost.
Today I think of what consumes much of my time and energy. Is it to hold the fort till Jesus comes? Or is it to join with Jesus as he seeks and saves the lost?
