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
