Discipleship – Three Times Found

“Forgiveness… can you imagine?” A line sung at one of the most poignant moments in the musical Hamilton when the main character’s wife shows him forgiveness after an adulterous affair. The lyric rings with astonishment: how can this be possible?

Long before the musical, another story was told of unfaithfulness and heartbreak. A story which also ended with forgiveness. A story which also rings with astonishment: how can this be possible? Along with a lost sheep and a lost coin, Jesus tells the story of three things found – but leaves us with some big questions: will we understand how this is possible, and join in the celebrations?
