Questions for Reflection on Luke 15:1-10
  1. What does it mean to be “lost”?
  2. Jesus connects repentance with joy rather than sadness. What does this say about what he thinks of us?
  3. Jesus has been said to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. Do you feel comfortable or afflicted?
