PARABLES OF JESUS – Joy In Heaven
Matthew 18:13-14
"And if he should find it [the sheep gone astray], assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. Even so, it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish."
God is not willing that any should perish (II Peter 3:9b). I remember the national news story of a little girl who was missing. She was found in an abandoned well-shaft where she had fallen, wedged in so tight she could not get out. It required much dedication and resources by her rescuers to save her from the pit where she certainly would have perished because she could not save herself. The television crews showed the round-the-clock effort to extricate her from her predicament. So the nation rejoiced when she was finally pulled from the hole. Heaven is watching and there is much joy in God's kingdom when one sinner is rescued from the pit into which he has fallen (see Luke 15:7). I'm so glad that Jesus found me and rescued me. Hallelujah!!!!
TODAY'S THOUGHT: There is great rejoicing in heaven when a sinner is found and rescued.
Have a rejoicing day. Love you.
