In this week's text, Jesus tells tax collectors and sinners one of His most well-known parables: the Parable of the Lost Sheep. 

Sarah Stenson teaches us that all parables are about election. What's a better demonstration of this than God seeking a lost sinner, putting us on His shoulder, and rejoicing at the lost sheep receiving grace. 

We also break down verse seven that says, "7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance," and ask the question, "Who needs no repentance?"

Kiri, Adam and Mason ask:

Are the lost sheep the people who haven't heard Christ's promise? Who needs no repentance? Are you supposed to find yourself in the parable?
