The Message: “Paying Attention to the Priority of the Parable”
John D. Herring, Jr.
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them,
does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?
“Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin,
does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
“. . . for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.”
Luke 15:4, 8, 24
