‘Have you seen my tape measure?’
No. But in a few minutes I’d located it, right where he was
working. He couldn’t see the forest for the trees.
Yesterday it was his glasses. I found them in the strawberry
patch. Well, now I know what happened to some of those beautiful berries…
Jesus tells a story of a woman who lost one of her precious
coins, and she tore the house apart until she found it. He tells a story of a
lost sheep, and the shepherd who wouldn’t rest until he’d found her. And the
story of the lost son, who strayed into a dissolute life but who his father
never stopped looking for. When he saw the son on the horizon, headed home, he
ran to embrace and celebrate his return.
None of us is so lost that Jesus can’t find us.
