Summary

God’s grace is extravagant and sometimes unfair. Jesus tells two stories, one of a lost sheep and the other of a lost coin. In both instances, these lost things are searched for with great care and found with great celebration. Even though we wander away or get lost in the couch cushion, we are never truly separated in Christ. By the relentless grace of God, we are found. Sometimes we are that lost sheep, oh so grateful to be remembered, noticed, rescued. And sometimes we are part of the 99 left behind, wondering why we don’t receive special treatment.
