This parable of Luke (LK 15: 1-10) is about things that seem to be lost to us, but they are not to God. We are never lost! God is always searching for us.
In these two parables God’s cares and He shows His righteousness and justice. He is more than a just Judge. He is merciful.
In the first parable Jesus talked about a shepherd who had a hundred sheep. One of his sheep strayed away and became lost. So he left the ninety-nine and went to search for the one lost sheep. When he finds it He calls all his friends together to celebrate finding the lost sheep.
In the second parable, Jesus talked about a widow who had ten silver coins and a silver coin was lost. When she finds the lost coin and she rejoices.
When we lose something, search hard for it, and when we find it, we can celebrate by sharing our joy with others.
Sometimes we do get lost. When that happens, God doesn’t give up on us. He searches for us and He won't stop until we are found.
“I will rise and go to my Father.” (Ps 51)
