Discuss Luke 15 Page 6

Many of us were indeed like the younger son, and some like the elder son. The younger son was very stupid and selfish, and his youth and inexperience cost him dearly in the sinful way he fell into. The older brother might have had an opportunity to go looking for his brother, instead of just being angry at him. The sinner is to be condemned, and that's what he does to himself when he repents.

What do we know about the father and son's name etc. in Luke 15: 11-21?

Many of us are prodigal sons striving to return to the warm embrace of Jesus and celebration in heaven of a returning lost soul. Thank Jesus for His forgiving spirit.

The lost sheep. Though one has the security if a flock yet will he leave all to search for what is missing. The same for the woman misplacing a coin. She will search for the lost coin even though what she has is adequate. The son didn't appreciate money but wasted it. All depict worldly life. It isn't enough. Who will love his life the world will lose it. Repent is to regret and change

My thought: When we as children of God fall from grace we must recognize that God hands is still stretch and He is still married to the backslider. There should never be an act of condemnation towards that backslider because God is the one who condemns. What we as saints should realize is when God is in control there is victory and where victory is there is power.

What a world: And the publican, standing far off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven,but smote upon his breast, saying,God be merciful to me a sinner. Luke 18:10-13.
In the Greek, publican is a tax collector.
Romans 3:10-11 as it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one:11: There is none that understanding, there is none that seeketh after God.

I love God no matter what✅😍😘

The parable of the prodigal son shows that God really cares about his children who lose their way. He is a loving Father who is just waiting for his children to return.

My thoughts is that the father is always looking for us. when we realise our wrongs and repent Jesus simply forgives us. its that simple amen.

to 'what a world' Lk.15 -- Rom.3:23 - why would being a tax collector exempt Levi/Matthew from being a sinner?

I don't think it meant a tax collector is a sin I think it meant that he was a sinner bc of the extra money that he was collecting was wrong to the people. That's my understanding...I hope that kinda answer ur question. If not, try asking a minister at your church. Hopefully they can't explain it better, bc this is just my thought. Take care...

I have this question, where can I find da answer to my question at... here goes, Where is it found in da Bible, Tax Collectors are Sinners?

This story is about God unfailing love for,we can ask forgiveness,and he is righteous to forgive us from all our sins.we must forgive ourselves.amen

I first learned about this chapter when I was 8 years old.

I love this story

Comment*LUKE chapter 15 blesses me very much,because it teaches us as youth to be patience and to let God controls us as he wish to

His father loved him and waited for him..but he was lost but now is found dead but alive now .

it shows the faithfulness of our father. that although we wonder away , he is willing to welcome us back.

this is a great scripture in the gospel age the dispensation of grace: even if we fall short grace allows us back in the presence of YAHVAH GOD HE HAS MADE PROVISIONS WHERE WE CANNOT FAIL AMEN AMEN

Our God is just no matter how long an how many times we sin, if we look onto Him an be in our sences, He will forgive us an cleanse our sins

He was dead in his sin.the wages of sin is death.he came to his senses.

ithink think this clearly says that God rejoices over a repentant sinner while the angels look on wondering what this salvation is all about.

This chapter was a very great description of the true love of a father. Which should show us as christians how much love our father God has for us. To celebrate our arrival coming home to him from a life of sin.

Very touching and awesome.GOD WILL NEVER ABANDON HIS CHILDREN

This verse demonstrates Gods ' love for a repentant sinner. When we get on our knees to ask God to forgive us God and the angels are present before we say a word.

i love this chapter and parables real and meaningful to every one and each family

Lost sheep which was found

Thank God for His mercy and grace toward us. I once was lost but now am found.

Luke 15 gives the three dimensions of Gods love for the lost. The sheep knows its lost but does know the way back home. The coin does not know it is lost. The prodigal son knew both that he was lost and the way that leads home. This therefore provides for all the situations of the lost and the solution thereof.

I have ever lost some money my feelings tells me that God realy loves me very much iam of great value use to God, i look at the vallue of money sliver wtat money can do in my life and know what iam, how precious am i before God.
