PROF DION FORSTER - Finding the Lost: A Gospel Message on God's Pursuit of Us

Professor Forster emphasizes that these stories are the "gospel within the gospel," highlighting that God's talent for finding us is far greater than our talent for being lost. He explains that the parables were originally told to the Pharisees—those who thought they were "found"—to challenge their exclusivity and remind them that God's greatest joy is seeking out the lost, the doubtful, the grieving, and the excluded.
