The key to salvation and God’s heart is accepting truth, acknowledging sin, and agreeing with God. And to think, we get to participate in this process daily when we share the Good News with lost Sheep. It makes Heaven rejoice every single time one is found. Make that your goal today; to lead one lost sheep back to the fold. You will find no greater joy. And Heaven will rejoice. Imagine, we have the ability to make angels celebrate in Heaven. No that’s real significance.
1 Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. 2 This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that He was associating with such sinful people–even eating with them!3 So Jesus told them this story: 4 “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders.6 When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’7 In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!
Luke 15:1-7
