This is an interesting season where everyone is rushing around to do one thing or a the other and God has reassured us in- (Matthew 11:28 MSG)“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.”

Do you remember the Parable of the Lost Coin that Jesus shares in Luke 15? The woman has 10 coins; she loses one and turns the house upside down to find the missing coin.

In those days, a floor in a Palestinian home was all dirt with straw on top. To do what this woman did meant a serious search!

That’s what Jesus came to do on the very first Christmas. Whether you’ve lost your confidence, your hope, your reputation, or your innocence recently, Jesuss came to Earth as a little baby so he could recover you like that woman recovered her coin. “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life” (Matthew 11:28 MSG).

Only Jesus can do that. You can’t depend on the government, your family, or yourself to recover what you’ve lost. Your savior can’t be the person we put in the White House. Your Savior is who we put on the cross. Never look to anyone else for your recovery other than Jesus.

Here are two things to remember about the coin in the Parable of the Lost Coin:

The coin didn’t realize it was lost. Often, neither do we while we’re unconnected to God.

The coin couldn’t find itself. That would be ridiculous! If the woman wasn’t looking for it, the coin would stay lost forever. We would, too, without a Savior.

If we could save ourselves, we wouldn’t need a Savior. But we can’t. You need God to recover whatever you’ve lost.

He’s the only one who can. I pray we do not lose our saviour as we rush around preparing for the christmas.
