Luke 15

Tax Collectors and other 'sinners' were congregating around Jesus.

The Parables
There is an emotional rollercoaster when something is lost and then found.
Something is lost - Dispair
Something is found - Joy and Elation
There is celebration in Heaven for everyone who is Saved.

We need to communicate with the lost people, the lost generation

The Prodigal Son's hostile older brother
- He had not taken the opportunity to get to know his father.

Jesus is saying that the religious leaders need to connect with the Tax Collectors and other 'sinners'.
