So how would you preach this? How would you expound the 'ninety nine just persons who need no repentance' (verse 7, outside of the parable) - cause if you try vague you'll have a line of questioners after the sermon - I certainly would anyway!
Brother, I would not preach it, I am just dumb Texas land and oilman! I Think I simply take the Parable at face value. Lets get some PB Pastors to weigh in, they are smarter than me!
