This sermon by Billy Graham is based on the Parable of the Lost Sheep and the Parable of the Lost Coin are two well-known stories told by Jesus in the New Testament.
The Parable of the Lost Sheep is found in Luke 15:3-7 and tells the story of a shepherd who has 100 sheep and loses one. The shepherd leaves the 99 sheep to go search for the lost one and when he finds it, he rejoices and carries it back on his shoulders. The parable is used to illustrate God's love for lost sinners and His eagerness to save them.
The Parable of the Lost Coin is found in Luke 15:8-10 and is similar to the parable of the lost sheep. It tells the story of a woman who loses one of her 10 coins and searches for it until she finds it. The parable is used to illustrate God's rejoicing when a sinner repents and turns to Him.
Both parables emphasize the joy and rejoicing that takes place when a lost soul is found and brought back to God. They also emphasize God's love and grace towards sinners, and the importance of seeking and finding salvation through Him.
