Joy in Heaven Over Sinners

Scripture

Luke 15

10 In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.”

Observation

What is Heaven like? It is going to be way better than we can even imagine or think, but one thing I do know about Heaven is that the Angels get very excited when sinners repent!

When Jesus returned to Heaven after His brief 33 years here on earth His Angels may have wondered if His plan to redeem the world would work. This passage says that in Heaven every time a sinner repents it brings joy in Heaven. Joy is expressed in Heaven every time a sinner repents. I don’t know if it is because there is an Angel assigned to us and when we repent and come to Christ our Angel begins celebrating, but I know that it causes a party in Heaven every time someone comes to Christ.

We need to celebrate “repentance” like they do in Heaven. It is the most positive word in the Bible, the word “repent”. There is nothing negative about it … it is all good. We have to work on celebrating more with those that make decisions for Christ!

Application

I will follow up and celebrate with those that make decisions for Christ.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, this passage gives us a glimpse into Heaven. When people come to Christ all of Heaven celebrates. We need to celebrate too. Help me work on better ways to celebrate the decisions that people are making at our church. I pray that people will make decisions for Christ tomorrow during our worship service. I pray that many new people will come to Christ. Help us invite and invite and invite.
