In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories back to back.
In the first, a shepherd loses one of his one hundred sheep. He leaves the ninety-nine to find the one lost.
In the second, a lady loses one of ten coins. She searched her home top to bottom in an effort to find it.
In the third, a man has two sons. One rebels and leaves home with his inheritance prematurely.
Nobody goes after him.
Sheep and coins apparently matter more.
That is an obvious and overlooked observation – am sure there is a lesson and a sermon there!
