LUKE 15.8-10
THE PARABLE OF THE LOST COIN
Today we are going to look at this beautiful parable of the Lord’s teaching in Luke 15.8-10, what is usually called the Parable of the Lost Coin. I have no hesitation to say that it is a very beautiful parable and yet, it is stated so briefly in these three verses. This is what we read. Luke 15.8-10.
Luke 15.8. Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’
10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.
