About This Video
This music video is part of Parables of Praise, our collection of songs that helps families talk about Scripture and the things Jesus taught.
Read the parable together
You can find the parable of the lost coin in Luke 15:8–10. The woman lights a lamp, sweeps her house, and keeps looking until she finds the coin. Jesus connects her celebration with the joy in the presence of God's angels over one sinner who repents.
For a child, repentance can be explained simply as turning away from sin and turning to God. The story gives parents a gentle way to talk about God's care and the joy of coming to Him.
Talk about it after the song
Ask: Why did the woman keep looking? How did she feel when she found her coin? What does Jesus say brings joy in heaven?
You could hide a large paper circle for your child to find, then celebrate together. Use paper instead of small coins with young children. Return to the Bible afterward so the game supports the point Jesus makes.
