Luke 15: 10
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of GOD over one sinner that repents.
I have quoted this verse many times in the past and have always thought that it was the angels who were rejoicing over the conversion of a sinner. Look at the words, "in the presence of the angels of GOD", who, then, is leading the rejoicing over the newly born again person? I believe that it is JESUS himself.
This verse is in the context of the widow who lost a coin. She searched and searched; swept the house and lit a lamp so find one little coin. When the coin was found, she said, "rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost." Look at JESUS' story about the ninety and nine sheep; He, the good Shepherd would leave the ninety and nine and go searching for the one that was lost. Luke 15: 7 says: "I say unto you that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents.
JESUS left His home in Glory to seek and to save us from certain doom. He suffered and died so that we might have eternal life with Him. All of the Trinity rejoices when one sinner receives JESUS as LORD and Savior of their life. There is such joy that it spills over into the Heavenly Host and they all rejoice with great joy. The first to burst out into the great Hallelujah is JESUS, who sought the one and saved that one from death.
SING AND REJOICE WITH THE HEAVENLY CHOIR, A SINNER HAS COME HOME.
