Directions: Read the verses and then answer the questions:

Day 1: Luke 15:3-4, 19:10—Why did the religious leaders in Jesus’s day avoid tax collectors and sinners? Why was Jesus willing to leave the 99 to seek and save the one? Considering how valuable the lost are to Christ, what application does this have for us?

Day 2: Luke 15:5, 1 Timothy 1:15, Romans 3:11, 1 John 4:19, John 6:39, 44, 65—What was the prevailing view of how people were forgiven in Jesus’s day? Why do sheep make such good pictures of the lost? What does it mean that we build our theology with indicatives supported by narratives? Can you think of any other indicatives teaching that Jesus seeks us?

Day 3: Luke 15:6, Matthew 13:44-46, Hebrews 12:2—In the parables, what do the treasure and pearl of great price represent? Who is the man and the merchant? In what ways did Jesus sell all that he has for the treasure and pearl? In what ways did Jesus buy the field? What Old Testament account prefigures this parable?
