And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, "Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!" Luke 15:6
That time He came to us in weakness was over and our resurrected Lord Jesus rose up out of their sight to go home to the Father. And let us imagine as best we can His homecoming. Gabriel, Michael, and many other angels whose names we do not know, gather around the throne of God. Jesus says those words, "Rejoice with Me!" Our Lord told the disciples that any time a sinner repents and believes in Jesus there would be the same celebration in Heaven. Your time or mine, or when the neighbor in church prayed to be saved, and many other newly reborn saints throughout the ages have brought on that same statement of rejoicing, "For I have found My sheep which was lost!" Why then do we linger here for a brief time? For all those sheep who have not yet turned from themselves to be found by the Savior. May all of our Lord's lost ones come soon.
Pray for the lost ones in the name of Jesus,
Bucky
