Luke 15:5-10

⁵When found, you can be sure you would put it across your shoulders, rejoicing,

⁶and when you got home call in your friends and neighbors, saying, "Celebrate with me! I''ve found my lost sheep!''

⁷Count on it--there''s more joy in heaven over one sinner''s rescued life than over ninety-nine good people in no need of rescue.d

⁸"Or imagine a woman who has ten coins and loses one. Won''t she light a lamp and scour the house, looking in every nook and cranny until she finds it?e

⁹And when she finds it you can be sure she''ll call her friends and neighbors: "Celebrate with me! I found my lost coin!''

¹⁰Count on it--that''s the kind of party God''s angels throw every time one lost soul turns to God."f
