Joy over one Sinner

Luke.15:7  "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in Heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance".  Imagine if 1000 people repented all at the same time, what a joy it would be here on earth. But much more in Heaven. Jesus is the Great Shepherd of the sheep and He came to save all that have gone astray. He is in the sheep saving business, this is His purpose and why He died for you and I. Here in Luke.15:4-7. He speaks to us about how He will leave ninety and nine sheep in the wilderness to go after one which is lost. He will stay out there looking and hoping to find this one sheep. Jesus won't come back or give up until He finds His sheep. And when that one is found He will lay it upon His shoulders, rejoicing. And come and show all His friends and neighbours, saying rejoice with Me I have found My lost sheep. What love our Great Shepherd has for His lost sheep. He will show all Heaven the one that was lost is now found. There is nothing more important in the Heart of Jesus than to save a soul. This also should be the heart of us the believer. Praise our Great Shepherd today. We were all at one time that lost sheep.
