God's Joy, My Joy

About This Message

Ptr. JP Lim | Luke 15:1-32

Back in Jesus’ day, there were very devoted and religious people who sought to live for and serve God. However, they did not have an intimate relationship with God because they did not really understand and pursue what was truly close to God’s heart. These religious leaders were always looking to find fault in Jesus, and so when Jesus sat down and ate with tax collectors, who were in Jesus’ time despised by society and perceived as sinners, these religious leaders took this against Him.

 

Jesus responded to them by giving three parables intended to teach that the heart of God is towards those who need and seek Him, which as followers of Jesus we are also expected to cultivate.
