In Luke 15, Jesus tells three parables: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son. He does this to show God's deep love (agapē) and joy over repentance (metanoia). Each story reveals how God actively seeks the lost and celebrates their return. Original Greek Scripture emphasizes compassion (splagchnizomai) and the heavenly joy when one sinner turns back to God.
