We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!
Luke 15:32 (NLT)
At the beginning of Luke 15, we find the Pharisees complaining about Jesus' association with sinful people. In response, Jesus tells a series of stories about people finding a lost sheep and a lost coin.
"In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God's angels when even one sinner repents," he shared. Then he tells one more story about a lost son and a father who welcomes him home.
It's the story from Luke 15:11-32, and it's the story we tell in the latest episode of Journey to Hope, the 20-episode animated Bible story series we're creating to share the good news with people from a Buddhist background.
