Summary

Luke 15:8-10 “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” There is joy in heaven over every sinner who repents. Each individual one. Each person is rejoiced over by God. What an amazing statement. Repent means turn from your sin to God for forgiveness and a NEW life of following Jesus. God rejoices. The angels rejoice. The saints who have gone us before us rejoice. Heaven rejoices. The joy of God. The celebration of God. Over human beings! More than that, over sinful and rebellious and proud human beings, when they humble themselves, reject their past and their own dark hearts. Let me invite you to enter into the joy of God. Look at the world with God’s eyes. Enter into his joy over your own repentance. Do you know the joy of God over you? Do you believe God celebrates you? Believe the doctrine and ask the Spirit to teach it to your heart, fill your heart up with that joy. If you have not repented yet, please understand that you are welcome. No matter who you are and what you have done. Jesus invites each person to his table to be a part of his family, to be his brother or sister. He invites YOU to join the rejoicing of God. Repent and know that JOY. Remember why Jesus told this parable: The Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” (Luke 15:2) To Jesus every human being is precious. Precious and valuable like that lost coin. Every human being is invited to Jesus’ table. These people, no matter what their past sins and continuing transgressions, they are all welcome. Invited to repent. Will you join with the invitation of God and invite unrepentant sinners to God’s joy? Instead of treating others with hatred and anger, will you gently and humbly invite them in? Will you join with the joy of God and rejoice over the household of God, the Church, all your brothers and sisters, each one, each precious one? Stop your complaining about the church and your hatred of fellow Christians… and rejoice!
