The Lost Sheep / Lost Coin

Bible:
In Luke 15:3-10 you will find two parables that Jesus told.
The first one is about the lost sheep, the second about the lost coin.

Reflection:
The lost sheep:

  1. Why does the shepherd leave the 99 sheep to go and find the 1 who
    was lost?
  2. How does the shepherd feel when he finds the sheep?
  3. What does this tell us about how God feels when we say sorry for our
    sins and we ask Him to live in our hearts?

The lost coin:

  1. How many silver coins does the lady have in the beginning?
  2. How does the lady look for the coin?
  3. How does the lady feel when she finds the lost coin?

The same way that the shepherd and the lady were joyful when they found
their lost belonging, God is joyful when we turn to him and accept him into
our life, no matter what we have done or will do, God will always welcome us
back when we come to Him!
