They’re called “triptychs,” three-tiered panels, usually located over the altar, which allow artists to depict three aspects of the life and work of Christ and His church. In one popular triptych, the means of grace are depicted in three panels: one for Baptism, one for preaching, and one for the Lord’s Supper. In the spirit of these three-fold portraits, today’s sermon text presents three unique aspects of saving the lost: a wandering sheep, a lost coin, and, on the center panel, a rebellious son. We will be bold enough to explore all three parable in Luke 15 this morning, as we receive the good news that “The Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
