The Parable of the
Lost Coin
Luke 15:8-10
Jesus speaks of a
woman in this
parable.
Luke 15:8
1. Lost men are in darkness.
Luke 15:8
The homes were made with basalt (black volcanic
rock) floors. The rooms were about 7 feet high with six
inch slits near the top for the only windows. The floors
were stones pieced together, with numerous cracks
where the stones met.
The woman must light a lamp in the dark room and
painstakingly search for the coin.
2. Lost men are in the dirt .
Luke 15:8
3. Lost men are in disuse
Joy in Finding
Knowing that you had done
everything possible to find that
which was lost
“And when she hath found it, she
calleth her friends and her
neighbours together, saying, Rejoice
with me; for I have found the piece
which I had lost. ”
The woman
finds the coin
and invites the
neighbors to a
celebration.
Luke 15:9
Having found the coin she has proven
her faithfulness and it is her success
that she wants to celebrate.
So it is with us,
when we fully
repent we rejoice to
be able to return to
the Savior
“Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy
in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner that repenteth. ”
Luke 15:10
