The burden, the claim that this text makes on our lives, is that We should rejoice with God when lost sinners repent. Jesus tells all three of these parables in response to the Pharisees grumbling in v.2 “This man receives sinners and eats with them.†The rejoicing in the three parables is in contrast to and in correction of the Pharisee’s grumbling, and that joy is the specific point of comparison that Jesus draws from the first two parables. Both are illustrations of God’s joy over sinners who repent.
