15:1-32 Chapter 15 contains three related parables of things lost and found: a sheep (15:1-7), a coin (15:8-10), and a son (15:11-32). The loss of something loved causes deep sorrow, whereas finding it brings great joy. There is great rejoicing in heaven when lost sinners return to their heavenly Father.

Alternate translation: “it was as if my son had died, but now I see he is very much alive”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
