Reflections with Andy - Luke 15: 8-10 - The Lost Coin

In Luke 15, Jesus tells another “parable of lost things”—this time about a woman who loses one of her ten silver coins and searches tirelessly until she finds it, rejoicing when she does. The coin likely represented something deeply personal and valuable, perhaps part of her marriage dowry or future security, making its loss more than just financial. Through this story, Jesus shows us God’s heart for the lost: every single person matters, and heaven rejoices when even one sinner repents. Just as the woman lights a lamp and sweeps the house until her treasure is found, God never stops searching for us. We’re reminded not to forget what it felt like to be lost, nor to lose the joy of being found. The gospel isn’t a test of goodness—it’s a rescue story of relentless grace, where God celebrates every soul that comes home.
