“I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.” Luke 15:7
When
Jesus told the trilogy of parables in Luke 15 about the lost sheep, coin and
son, he ended every story with celebration.
He wanted the listeners to know that when a person gives his life to
Christ, there is celebration. Angels,
the Holy Spirit, Jesus and the Father all high-five, fist pump and shout for
joy that another person has agreed that they are a sinner and have given their
life to Christ. Heaven is waiting to
break out into a party for any person who gets saved.
