The Three Parables in Luke 15: Why God Repeats His Message of Love

Why does Scripture record three parables about lostness in a single chapter? Drawing on Luke 15, this exposition argues that divine repetition is not redundancy but pastoral mercy — God driving home the same nail of love and grace until it holds. The sermon calls both the familiar and the first-time hearer to lower their defences and receive afresh the truth that God knows every individual, whether near or far, and actively seeks the lost.
