| Summary: | It is not easy to know what God is like when every religion, and even every Christian, views Him differently. We all seem to read into the character of God our own biases and prejudices. So Caleb Rosado turns to Luke, chapter 15, where "Jesus gives us the clearest portrayal of the character of God that we can find anywhere else in the Gospels." Rosado's explanation of the parables of the lost sheep, coin, and sons is both refreshing and provacative. He shows the twist in each story that surprised Christ's generation but often goes unnoticed in ours. He boldly grasps the revealed truth about God and breaks down false images. When he is finished, we are reacquainted with a God of great compassion who is eager for our salvation. - Introduction. Jesus--the Exegete of God. God Is Known by the Company He Keeps. My God Loves a Party. God--The Sweeper of Life. Compassion--The Heart of the Gospel. The Practice of Compassion. Conclusion: The Lost and God |
