Luke 15:1-7
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
1Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering around to hear him. 2But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."
3Then Jesus told them this parable: 4"Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' 7I 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.
God and His Son LOVE to seek the lost...They LOVE to help sinners...When one sinner repents, there is rejoicing in heaven...Jesus goes on to say when one repents, there is more rejoicing than over ninety-nine righteous people who do not repent...This shows how God feels about us and how happy He is when we repent...This Parable shows His LOVE for us...
