Did you ever wonder why the middle story is about a woman who lost something? (Well, besides the obvious: women can get frantic looking for a precious item that was lost.)
Well, the story of the lost sheep shows us how Jesus goes to extreme lengths to bring back the one that was lost. The story of the lost coin shows us the same thing. Except the main character is a woman -- a wife -- a bride.
Doesn't that show us how the Church (Jesus' bride) is like Him? She too goes all-out to find what was lost. And she rejoices when the lost one is found.
(When Pastor said this recently,
it made so much sense!)
