Finding Treasure in the Lost

Mar 16, 2025    Paige Allen

In this powerful exploration of Luke 15, we dive deep into the heart of God's relentless love for the lost. Through three parables - the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son - we witness a beautiful progression revealing the character of our Heavenly Father. We see Him as the loving Shepherd, willing to leave the 99 to find the one; as the diligent seeker, tirelessly searching until what was lost is found; and as the gracious Father, welcoming home the wayward with open arms. These stories remind us that no matter how we've become lost - whether through drifting away, being broken off, or intentionally leaving - we're never beyond God's reach. His grace is always extended, ready not just to restore us, but to elevate us. As we reflect on these parables, we're challenged to examine our own hearts. Are we diligent in seeking the lost? Do we celebrate when someone returns to faith? Let's be inspired to light the lamp of prayer, sweep away complacency, and join in God's mission to bring the lost home.
