Ten Pieces of Silver

"woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find  it?   And when she hath found  it, she calleth  her friends and  her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. "

                                                                                         Luke 15:8,9

        

       

       Jesus told this story to describe the joy in heaven when a sinner repent for his sin.  The women who sought the coin was the Lord himself. The silver coins he referred here was the people. The Lord seeks the sinners eagerly and wants them to be redeemed.

           The God created the earth and all its well beings beautifully. He created everything in this world for men. The God created Adam in His own image. As man was created in His own image, He loved him more. He loved Adam family. The God himself visited the Eden Garden to meet Adam and Eve every morning. What a wonderful love it was!. The man did not go on to meet the God instead the God himself visited them to share His love and affection to the mankind. What a wonderful God He is!. He never wants to lose the men to evil hands at any cost. 

           Of Course the God warned  Adam and Eve about the tree of knowledge of good and evil earlier so that they might be cautious of their life. The God expected Adam and Eve to obey his commands. Bitterly they failed to obey the commands of God and fell into the trap of satan. The satan deceived both Adam and Eve very cunningly. The serpent put a seed of disbelief in the heart of Eve. The serpent lied to Eve and made her to believe that the words of the God were false.  Some time we do not believe in the words of the Lord because they seem to be odd to follow in this world. Some time the words  seem to be lie rather than true. This a witty seed that is sown in our minds by satan and make us to get away from the Lord. Naturally, not only Adam and Eve but many of us fall into these traps. The Lord will never tell lies because He is holy. He is the way, the truth and life. If any one fails to obey His words, sin and curse will follow in his life. If any one sincerely obeys His words, he will receive His rewards. 

         The God sent his only begotten son Jesus into this world to deliver the mankind from evil hands. Jesus came to this world to redeem the people from sin and curse of this world. Jesus was sent to sacrifice his holy blood to deliver us from evil hands. The Lord seeks diligently till he redeems us. The joy of finding and getting back the lost wealth is wonderful for everyone. He never fails to find us even if we hid ourselves behind a fig tree like  Zacchaeus. You can not hid yourself behind the sins and curses of this world. Surely the Lord of mercy will call upon by your name. "the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. " John 10:3. When you hear His voice, come forward to receive the Lord. If you do so, your life will be transformed like Zacchaeus and you will become the sons and daughters of the everlasting Lord. What a joy to spell that i am the son of Jesus and daughter of Jesus. What a happy occasion, when my name is written on the book of life. The joy and happiness what our Lord Jesus promised us is immeasurable.Amen.

"As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold,  and one shepherd."
