Once again, God has a purpose. A desire. A goal. And God never stops pursuing it. Jesus tells a series of parables in Luke 15 about a woman who loses a coin, a shepherd who loses a sheep, and a father who loses a son.

The God that Jesus teaches us about doesn't give up until everything that was lost is found. This God simply doesn't give up. Ever. — Rob Bell
