About The Lost Coin
In this brief, tender parable from the Gospel of Luke, a woman who owns ten silver coins loses one and does not rest until she finds it. She lights her lamp, takes up her broom, and sweeps every corner of the house — searching with the kind of steady, loving purpose that won't give up on even one small thing. When the coin turns up at last, she doesn't celebrate alone; she calls her friends and neighbors to share the joy, and Jesus draws the whole scene toward a single, shining point: that same rejoicing fills heaven whenever one lost soul comes home.
