Luke 15 is often referred to as the "lost" chapter, containing three famous parables focusing on God's love and joy in recovering what is lost. The Parable of the Lost Sheep shows the Shepherd's love for each individual, even one lost sheep. The Parable of the Lost Coin emphasizes diligent search and rejoicing over finding something precious. Finally, the Parable of the Prodigal Son illustrates the gracious and forgiving nature of God, highlighting the joy in heaven over a sinner's repentance.
