As far as my strange and twisted interpretation of the text..."Non-Apostolic Pentecostal Matthew Henry" came to the exact same conclusion along with several other commentaries...but I'm sure you've got a better handle on

That's not even the point of the parable, Rob! Sheesh!
We were, and are outside of the grace of God, lost! We don't have to clean our house. He got himself dirty, rummaging through the floor and filth to find us. That's the story!!!!!!!
Yes, strange and twisted indeed.

In the parable of the lost piece of silver, that which is lost, is one piece, of small value compared with the rest. Yet the woman seeks diligently till she finds it. This represents the various means and methods God makes use of to bring lost souls home to himself, and the Saviour's joy on their return to him. (Lu 15:11-16)
