“God’s faithfulness we’ve known throughout the years, YOUTH WORLD Religious Works Department – Mr. Dennis & Rev. Mrs. Violet Dennis LOST AND FOUNDThe motif of finding falls into two categories in the Bible—the major motif of finding something (presumably for the first time) after a process of searching, and a much smaller category of references to finding or regaining something that was lost. While the specific terminology is relatively scarce, the pattern of lost and found is the overarching plot of the Bible. In Adam the human race lost possession of Garden of Eden, perfection, untarnished communion with God, innocence and immortal bliss. In Christ, the second Adam, it can find or regain all those qualities again. The locus classicus, however, is the three parables of Jesus recorded in Luke 15. Told to silence the Pharisees, who murmured when they saw that Jesus “receives sinners and eats with them”, the parables revolve around a lost sheep that is rescued, a woman’s lost coin that is found, and a lost son who returns. In the parable of the prodigal son (the climactic parable of the three), when the son returns from his dissolute wanderings, the father says, “this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found” (Lk 15:24). Metaphorically associating death with being lost and new life with being found, Jesus climaxes the figurative uses of lost and found by equating them with spiritual death and life. To be lost is to be spiritually separated from God, and to be found is to be rightly related to God in Christ. This usage has dominated our thinking about lost and found in the Bible. Other important lost and found references include numerous citations of lost or found grace (Gen 6:8; Ex 33:16), favor (Gen 18:3; Num 11:11, 15) and wisdom (Job 32:13; Dan 5:11, 14). The references to grace and favor suggest that the Lord initiates the finding, giving kindness and compassion where they are not deserved. The references to wisdom and to God’s word imply that people must actively search if they hope to find the desired object. When Scripture refers to anything more than misplaced objects, the lost-and-found motif carries with it profound spiritual meaning. People are lost in sin and in need of being found or redeemed. Under the metaphors of lost sheep, lost coin and lost son, the Bible speaks of being lost as the critical problem in both Testaments alike. The problem is rectified by one’s being found or brought back into right relationship with God in Christ, as many passages in the New Testament attest. We can deduce atleast three character traits of God from the Lost and found motif
