Sunday school lesson Teaching About Lostness Luke 15:11-24 The fourteen verses of Scripture given for today's lesson relates a parable spoken by Jesus to teach a lesson on lostness and forgiveness. First, the parable of the lost sheep. If a man had a hundred sheep and one strayed, would he not leave the ninety nine and go search until he found the one strayed and lost. Would he not then joyfully carry it home? Jesus continues by telling the second story about lostness. A lady who has ten valuable coins, and loses one of them. Accordinly, she launches into a I hunt for the lost coin, getting a light and sweeping the corners of the room until she finds it. Would she not then call her friends in i o rejoice with her? Jesus concluded this story by saying in verse 10, "In the same way there is joy in the presence of the angels of God when one sinner repents." Jesus now turns to the third parable to complete His teaching on lostness. ~ This one concerned the youngest of " two sons of a certain man. The Departure Luke IS: IMS The younger man, in this parable, had come to the place where he was [pFor Your Information Dear friends, Golden Age Pass port: You can get free lifetime en trance permit (at age 62 or older) to all parks, monu ments, and recrea tional areas ad ministered by the federal government.

He wanted to go out on his own. It's not a new story to us, is it? We all know of similar situations and some of us have personally ex perienced it. In most cases that we know about it has ended in sorrow or tragedy. In this case it ended in sorrow, degradation and humility, but the father gave the son the smaller share that was due him and the son departed into a far country. There, the son wasted his inheritance in riotous living. It is easy for us to see the connection between the son's carelessness with money and a person's carelessness with morals. It may be fun for a while to throw moral caution to the wind and live only for one's self, but eventually the emp tyness that goes with it is sure to set in. The Decision Luke 15: 17-1* The young man was now on "skid row". He had spent all, and had betn forced to hire himself out as a ser vant to a Gentile. He was a keeper of the pigs, and pigs were unclean animals to the ancient Jews. How degrading to a Jewish boy, and on top of that, he was hungry. It was a terrible situation that he had gotten himself into, but he was thinking. He realized he needed to get his "head on straight" and stop kidding him self. It often takes humility to bring one to repentant state. He soon came to the conclusion that he should go back home. For in verse 18, he said he would confess, "Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before thee." We note here that he was addressing himself to both the Heavenly Father and his earthly father. His repentance was genuine, and it was complete. As we continue to read the remainder of the Scrip ture, we witness his return home, his Walkers Construction Specializing In remodel ing. and repairs. 25 jrears of pleasing people.
