"Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?" (Luke 15:8)
The Value of One
This parable, paired with the Lost Sheep, emphasizes God's diligence in seeking the lost. The woman doesn't just hope the coin turns up; she takes action—lighting a lamp and sweeping the house.
It illustrates that every individual is precious to God. The celebration that follows finding the coin mirrors the celebration in the presence of God's angels when even one person returns to Him.
Key Lesson: God diligently seeks every lost soul. We should share in His joy when a sinner repents.
