Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost ! In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Luke 15:9-10
This is a chapter about joy. The joy of recovering that which is lost. There is one lost sheep in one hundred. There is one lost coin in ten, and one lost son of two. We can identify with the joy of finding our property and our family, but how do we identify over the joy of seeing a sinner repent? We need to find that joy to be the body that Christ wants us to be. We need that joy to make room in our schedules for these precious souls. We need joy to let the church know that this is our priority above all others. What makes us happy? Hopefully, nothing more than seeing the lost find their way back to Jesus. Let's do the wave, and then get back to work.
