Jesus Taught about Heavenly Father’s Love

Luke 15

Jesus teaching people

One day, people gathered to hear Jesus teach. He told three stories.

shepherd with sheep

In the first story, a shepherd left his flock to look for one sheep that was lost. When he found it, he carried it home on his shoulders. He was so happy.

woman holding a coin

In the next story, a woman lost one of her silver coins. She lit a candle, swept the floor, and looked for her coin. When she found it, she celebrated with her friends.

son and father

In the last story, a son left home. He made bad choices and wasted all his money. He decided to go home and tell his father he was sorry. When the father saw his son coming, he ran to hug him.

Jesus told these stories to show how much Heavenly Father loves each person. He is so happy when we repent.
