  Humility leads to a deeper knowledge of oneself

  Sep 10, 2022

  Our lengthy passage provides us with three parables of lost-and-found scenarios. All three paint an unforgettable picture of the overflowing love and forgiveness of God. Today, I would like to pay attention to the third and longest of the three parables.
