Q2. (a)What this parable has in common with the other two:- In all parables there is joy and celebrations in finding the lost. Q2 (c) What we can learn from the parable of lost son. >Gods unconditional love for his children. > Forgiveness, Repentance, Humility, Gratitude, Reconciliation. > We must accept those who repent of their sins back to flock, congregation, the sins they had committed notwithstanding.

Jesus is concerned more with the lost sheep, that why He leaves the rest and goes for the lost ones. In John 10 : 16 Jesus talks of sheep of another fold that he has to seek for, I believe these are the Gentiles- sheep from other nations. As Christians we should seek to share our faith with those who do not come to church as we reflect God's love to them. God is not happy with those that die in sin but that they repent as Zecchaeus did in Luke 19: 1-10.

It is surprising today that there many churches where prayer requests have to be accompanied by an offering. You wonder whether those who are financially weak will ever have their requests prayed for.
