The Joy of the Found Coin

The Lost Coin Luke 15:8–10 Jesus loved telling stories that helped people understand

how much God cares about them. One day, after sharing about a lost sheep,

Jesus told another joyful story. “Imagine a woman,” Jesus said, “who has ten silver

coins.” Each coin was very valuable. Together, they were part of

her savings. She carefully kept them safe in her home. But one day,

as she counted them, something was wrong. One… two… three… Seven… eight… nine… One coin was missing.

The woman didn’t shrug and say, “At least I still have nine.” That coin mattered.

So she lit a lamp and began to search. She swept the floor. She checked every corner.
