Luke 15:10

“Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.”



O what a joyious occasion it is when one of God's elect repents of their sin and our Lord saves them!!! How often we see the exitement in them as our Lord begins to open unto them the mysteries of His Gospel. When, as a new born babe, they begin to see their Heavenly Father and His love for the first time. O what a joy that is!!! Child of God do you remember that precious time in your life? That time when God revelled Himself to you and showed you the greatest love you had ever known? Then why do we not rejoice with others when this happens to them? I have seen in many churches where God's people will shun a new born babe in Christ. O it's cute and adorrible when it a small child. But what about when that person is an adult? Why do we not take as much pleasure in the fact that our Lord has saved the soul of an adult?The verse above tells us that even the angels in Heaven rejoice when a sinner repents. Should we not rejoice also?
We should be praising the Lord when we see a sinner repent and our Lord save them. There is no greater thing for a lost sinner.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
