On Wednesday afternoon, the children were treated to a visit in assembly by the 'Open the Book' team. The children were asked to think about how big Earth is, with a year 6 child estimating a population in excess of 7 billion people. With this many people, it may make us feel slightly insignificant. 'The Parable of the Lost Coin' appears in Luke 15: 8-10 and focuses on a woman searching for a lost coin. A woman had saved 10 coins, only to unfortunately lose one. After an extensive search, she located the coin and rejoiced, showing considerable joy.
Christians believe that Jesus told the story to demonstrate how God feels about each and every one of us: God is inclusive of everyone. During the time when the coin was lost, the woman reflected on its preciousness before being reunited with it.
We all reflected on how it feels to lose something valuable to us, even though it may have no monetary value. Thank you to 'Open the Book' for bringing this important Bible story to life.
