The Gospels: Discovering God’s Heart in the Lost Coin

📖 Introduction

The Gospels are the heart of the Christian faith, revealing the life, teachings, and love of Jesus Christ. They present a God who moves deeply within human stories and invites us into a transformative relationship. Among the many stories Jesus told, the Parable of the Lost Coin (Luke 15:8–10) highlights a profound truth about God's character: His passionate, personal pursuit of those who seem lost or insignificant to the world.

In this study plan, we will journey through the message of the Gospels with a special focus on this parable. Unlike grandiose parables centered on kings or large flocks of sheep, the lost coin is a humble, everyday object—a small but valuable treasure that the woman searches for relentlessly. This parable reminds us that every person is precious to God, regardless of their status or past, and God's joy when one returns to Him is immense.

As you spend this week reflecting on the Gospels, consider how Jesus' life and teachings consistently reveal a God who seeks, values, and restores. Whether you see yourself as lost, overlooked, or fully found, these passages invite you to experience the depth of God’s love and the joy He has over each individual’s restoration. Prepare to be challenged, encouraged, and uplifted by His pursuit of you.

Let's embark on this journey with open hearts, ready to see the Gospels in a fresh light and to embrace the intimate value God places on every soul.
