How is the parable of the lost coin and the lost son connected?

The parable of the lost coin and the lost son both emphasize the importance of seeking out and reconciling with what is lost. The lost coin highlights God's dedication to seeking out and saving the lost, while the lost son illustrates the idea of repentance and forgiveness for those who have strayed. Both parables underscore the value of redemption and the joy of reconciliation.

What is the moral lesson of the Parable of the Lost Coin?

it means dont take life for granted-orThe Parable of the Lost Coin is one of the parables of Jesus. It appears in only one of the Canonical gospels of the New Testament. According to Luke 15:8-10, a woman searches for a lost coin. It is a member of a trilogy on redemption that Jesus tells after the Pharisees and religious leaders accuse him of welcoming and eating with "sinners."[1] The other two are the Parable of the Lost Sheep, and the Parable of the Lost Son or Prodigal Son.Contents[hide]1 Narrative2 Interpretation3 Depictions4 See also5 References6 External linksNarrativeAs recounted in Luke 15, a woman with ten silver coins (Greek drachmae) loses one. She then lights a lamp and sweeps her house until she finds it, rejoicing when she does:Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn't light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.' Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."--- Luke 15:8--10, World English BibleOn finding the lost coin, the woman shares her joy with her neighbors (etching by Jan Luyken).InterpretationJoel B. Green notes that the woman described is a poor peasant, and the ten silver coins, corresponding to ten days wages, "likely represent the family savings."[2] The coins may also have been the woman's dowry, worn as an ornament.[3][4] Both theories may be true, and either one explains the urgency of the woman's search, and the extent of her joy when the missing coin is found.Like the parable of the Ten Virgins, this is a parable about women which immediately follows, and makes the same point as, a preceding parable about men.[5] In the Greek, the "friends and neighbors" are female.[6]Green suggests that the invitation to the "friends and neighbors" may reflect a celebratory meal, which recalls the meals Jesus is accused of sharing with "sinners."[2] The woman's diligent activity in searching may symbolise either Jesus' own activity or that of God the Father.[3] The rejoicing of the angels is understood to be rejoicing along with God.[4]DepictionsThis parable has been depicted by several artists, including John Everett Millais, Jan Luyken, Domenico Fetti, and James Tissot.Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Parable of the Lost CoinSee alsoMinistry of JesusReferences^ Richard N.
