The Lost Sheep
Jesus is hanging out with the wrong people. They were tax collector and sinners, which is the politically correct way of saying he was hanging out with outcasts.
They were known as “The people of the land.” They were looked down upon, treated like scum. Then Jesus comes along and hangs out with them.
Jesus was confronted by the Pharisees and teachers of the Law who looked down up the “People of the Earth” with the attitude, “I’m a better person.”
So Jesus told a couple of parables.
The first deals with a lost sheep (Luke 15:3-7). You can watch a video of this parable:
