Story Producer 002 - Lost Coin v1

Title Ideas:
God is happy when a person repents.
The Lost Coin.
When God celebrates!

One day, Jesus was teaching the people. Some religious leaders were critical that Jesus ate and spoke with others [other people] who were sinners [wrongdoers]. So Jesus told this story:

“[You all] Think about a woman who has ten coins [(your local money) / silver pieces] [each coin/piece was enough to pay a worker for a day’s work] and the worry she might feel if she lost one of her coins. Think about what she will do to find that coin.

She will light a lamp and she will sweep her house, searching, searching, searching for her lost coin [money piece]. She will look until she finds it!

And when she finally finds it, she will call her friends and neighbors and say to them, “[Hooray! or other expression of excitement] Celebrate with me! I found my coin that I had lost!”

After telling this story, Jesus told the people listening to him, “In this same way, God and all his angels celebrate when one person repents [turns from wrongdoings and returns to God (obeying God)].”
