"“Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”"
Luke 15:8-10
In the parable prior to the this and one after this , we see the heart of God for the lost. The joy in heaven when the lost is found ! We read in Luke 19: 10 , "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”"
Now we read that a woman had ten silver coins, so the coin lost was hers, in the parable of the lost sheep just before this in Chapter 15 we read that a man having a hundred sheep... so the one that was lost was his. Can you understand the longing of the heart of his own or her own being lost ?
We are all His children. He paid the price for us ALL ! Can you get a glimpse now into the joy when your son, your daughter chooses eternal life ?
As we go through the day and come across so many people , do we see them as our brothers and sisters for whom the price has already been paid ? Does our heart long with the compassion that Christ desires of us that they may come to know Him ?
God has blessed us with a whole new day to live by His grace and for His glory. Lets live out loud !
God Bless
