In Luke 15, Jesus contrasts societal judgment with divine love through his interactions with tax collectors and sinners. He uses the parable of the lost sheep to emphasize that God's love is boundless, illustrating that no one is insignificant. This parable encourages us to value others and embrace God's patience and pursuit, regardless of how far we've strayed. It challenges us to seek the lost and reassures us of our worth, reshaping our view of ourselves and others in the divine narrative where everyone is seen and loved by God.
