Luke 15:8-10
8 “Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’ 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Reflection
In this second parable Jesus reiterates his point that there is great rejoicing in finding the lost coin. This again is an argument for why Jesus welcomes the lost in spite of the judgment of the Pharisees. How do you think that we can sometimes be like the Pharisees and be leery of welcoming and eating with sinners?
