Jesus Carrying the Fallen Home: Recovering the Divine Image Within Today's Homily examines Luke's parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin, . . . . . . traditionally understood as images of God's mercy toward individual sinners. However, the Homily recalls the early Church Fathers' broader view: that these parables describe God's saving action toward all humanity . . . the whole human race as the “lost sheep” and “lost coin.” Christ, the Good Shepherd, leaves heaven to rescue fallen humanity, lifting it upon His shoulders through the Cross and carrying it home in the Resurrection. Yet salvation is not passive . . . grace strengthens sinners to repent and cooperate with redemption. Those who respond actively to grace and strive to restore the divine image within themselves bring great joy to heaven. Humanity made in God's Image but Disfigured by Sin The parable of the woman and the lost coin deepens this image: the coin bears the image of the King, symbolizing humanity made in God's image but disfigured by sin. The woman's lamp represents Christ, the light of the Incarnation, illuminating and searching the “house” of the human soul. True repentance, then, is an interior cleansing—overturning what hides God's image until it shines again. Finally, as November continues . . . the Church's month of prayer for the departed . . . the Homily connects this teaching to the work of mercy in praying for souls in purgatory. Just as Christ carries fallen humanity, we carry our departed loved ones by prayer, helping them journey toward full union with God. This act renews the divine image in us as well, joining us to Christ's redemptive mission and the joy of heaven. Listen to this Meditation Media.

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.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories to illustrate God's heart to seek and to save the lost. In the parable of the lost coin, the woman represents the bride of Christ. To find the lost coin, the woman lights an oil lamp to light up the darkness. Oil is a picture of God's Spirit, and the lamp is a picture of God's Son!The gospel shines in the darkness but never hides from it. NOW is the time to step out of darkness into the light and receive eternal life.

Lost Sheep, Lost Coin, Lost Pharisees // Luke: Jesus For Everyone // Luke 15:1-8 // Doug Glynn// 09.14.25
The parables of the Lost Sheep and the Lost Coin in the Gospel of Luke are of great importance. Not only do they introduce the parable of the Prodigal Son, but they remind us that they Pharisees had lost the people of God by adding layers of law to God's word. Jesus cuts through the man-made laws of the Pharisees and comes to seek that which was lost in order to bear it into the Kingdom of God.Image: The Lost Sheep (The Parables of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ), after Sir John Everett Millais, engraved and printed by Dalziel Brothers.

Have you ever felt lost, disconnected, or unsure of where you belong? In Luke 15, Jesus tells three unforgettable stories—the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Prodigal Son—that remind us of one life-changing truth: God is always with us. In this message, Matthew Balentine shares how each parable reveals the heart of God—searching for the lost, rejoicing in repentance, and welcoming His children home with open arms. Whether you're wandering, unaware, or weary from the journey, take comfort in knowing: Jesus is always there.
Stories have a way of sticking with us. As a master teacher and storyteller, Jesus didn't just spin tales, He told parables: short, simple stories that invited listeners into deeper truth.This summer, we're diving into the parables of Jesus. Stories about seeds and soil, lost coins and prodigal sons, hidden treasures and unexpected guests. These are more than just ancient tales; they are windows into the heart of God and mirrors that help us reflect his image and love more clearly.Sermon by Pastor Scott Edinger

Through the parables of the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin and the Prodigal Son, Jesus reveals to his disciples the dynamic loving effort the divine world is making to find every human soul that has lost its connection to its true home as well as the inner transformation of heart and mind each person can make to turn again towards the ‘Kingdom of God'.Support the showThe Light in Every Thing is a podcast of The Seminary of The Christian Community in North America.

In this sermon from Luke 15:1-10, Austin Farley looks at how the Parable of the Lost Sheep and the Parable of the Lost Coin reveal the heart of our Redeemer, the joy of our Savior, and the hope of our mission. Like our God who goes after the lost sheep and rejoices over the repentant sinner, may we care enough about those around us to share the message of hope and salvation found only in Jesus Christ. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
