Parables Bible Study: Why Do I Feel So Lost?

From the moment Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden, we have been lost. And yet, the good news of the Gospel is that someone has come after us. There is a Shepherd who searches for His lost sheep. There is One who scours the entire house, desperately upending every couch cushion to find what’s missing. There is a Father who longs to welcome His wayward children home. We wander; He waits. We sin; He searches. We spend our lives searching for the solution to the disconnect we feel in our souls. Meanwhile, our King desperately searches for us.

The Gospel writers tell us that Jesus was familiar with the power of stories. A Lost Son. A Pearl of Great Price. A Good Samaritan. A Mustard Seed. Jesus used these images – and so many others! – to point us toward the realities of His Kingdom. While we may be tempted to turn the Kingdom into a complex system of doctrine, Jesus shows us again and again that the Kingdom can be as simple as a story.
