Luke 15:1-7
Luke 15:1-7
Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. And he spake this parable unto them, saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

People ask?
What kind of God would allow so much death and carnage. Tsunami‘s and tornadoes and earthquakes? Death is evitable in a fallen world, but the Question should be is how does a Holy and perfect God allows sinners to live? What kind of holy and perfect God allows a sinner to live Knowing he’s going to sin and sin but yet he saves them, why does he save them? Because it brings him joy. Rightfully he should as soon as we are born is to cast us in outer darkness because of there Fallishness inherited from Adam.
Harvest is ready
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
Read the Scripture( expound)
The parable is about the joy of God when a loss sinner is sought and found and recovered and the point is how is it that God can be so eager that God can be so persistent, that God can be so concerned to seek and save the lost and you who claim to be God’s representatives on earth only despise the lost. So How can that be then, that you couldn’t be further from the heart of God, you hate the lost and God rejoices over them you don’t go near the lost and God pursues, finds and carries them back. But you condemn me for rescuing eternal Souls. The only thing in this world that is eternal is people, SOULS

Matthew 9:35–36 (KJV 1900): 35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep without a shepherd no one to come and no one to find them, and no one to carry them back, no one to care about them. Sheep without a shepherd. No one to rescue them, no one to pick them up and carry them home from there hopeless lifeless condition, what hypocrites the Pharisees was. They know nothing about God or about shepherding, but Applauding an out cast shepherd who they looked down on to save a stupid animal. While condemning Jesus the great Shephard for rescuing the lost eternal soul they despised.

Galatians 3:24 the law is the tutor that drives you to Jesus Christ, who alone can save you from your own corruption. The purpose of the law is the kill and crush you, and to show how perfectly good God is, and how utterly evil man is, therefore, to produce, guilt and fear and dread and remorse.
