In Luke 15:1-32, Jesus tells three parables about the joy in heaven over repentant sinners. The first parable is about the lost sheep, where a shepherd leaves 99 sheep to search for the one that is lost. The second parable is about the lost coin, where a woman searches diligently for a missing coin. Lastly, the third parable is about the prodigal son, where a father welcomes back his wayward son with open arms.

These parables emphasize God's relentless pursuit of those who are lost and His overwhelming love for His children. They highlight the importance of repentance and forgiveness in the eyes of God. The parables serve as a reminder that no matter how lost we may feel, God is always seeking us out and ready to welcome us back into His loving embrace.

This passage is not found in other parts of the gospels, but it captures the heart of Jesus' message of redemption and salvation. A helpful daily application for the reader would be to reflect on God's unconditional love and grace, and to seek forgiveness and reconciliation in their own lives. These parables remind us of the joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, and the importance of our own repentance and forgiveness towards others.
