The God Who Welcomes Sinners and Eats with Them

How does the Greek word for “grumbling” connect the Pharisees to the wilderness generation? How is this “grumbling” an act of hubris? Who are the “sinners” who eagerly listen to Jesus? What’s the big deal about eating with someone? What are the four prominent themes in the parables of the lost sheep and coin? In this week’s Reading the Gospels through Hebrew Eyes, Chad Bird explores Luke 15:1-10.
Here is the link to the video I mention regarding the OT and shepherds: • Jesus the Hanukkah Goo...

I really enjoyed this explanation of the parables. Thank you!

Should Luke 16 be seen as a continuation of this same theme? As in the extent God is willing to go to bring those deemed lost back to His fold?

[@chadbird1517]

Yes, I believe so. And if you follow Kenneth Bailey’s take on this parable, it’s about the mercy of the master.

Ancient Movie STORY repeating does have blinded Actor's from Eternally never beginning does create natural mind that experience good and evil from put asleep of all GOOD creation becoming scattered STORY lost is DUST like death. We will take a simple little verse and show you why it is not addressed to the natural man, Ecclesiastes 3:15: “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.” The “natural man” cannot grasp that, for to him reality is based only on the evidence of the senses. The man of reason could justify the verse’s end, saying if it has any meaning then the writer must mean recurrence. The sun comes every day and the moon completes its cycle and the seasons come and go. If we took a picture of the universe today, the scientists can compute how long it will take to return to this point in the picture. So the intellectual man could justify the verse; but that is not what is meant, for it is addressed not to the man of reason or the man of sense, but to the man of Imagination. What is it all about? “That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been, and God seeks what has been driven away.”
