Lucas 15:10

10 Así os digo que hay gozo delante de los ángeles de Dios por un pecador que se enmienda

Lucas 15:10 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 15:10

Likewise I say unto you
As before, in ( Luke 15:7 )

there is joy in the presence of the angels of God;
who are the friends and neighbours of Christ: (See Gill on Luke 15:6),

over one sinner that repenteth;
which they have knowledge of, either by immediate revelation from God, or by observation in the church where they attend: the reason of this joy is, because there is one rescued out of the hands of Satan and his angels, between whom and them, there is an implacable enmity; and because another subject is added to Christ's kingdom, and by which it is enlarged, the prosperity of which they greatly desire; and because another heir is born in that family, to which they belong, and they have another social worshipper with them: and this joy is said to be "in the presence of" them; and so may design the joy of others, as of Father, Son, and Spirit, which is in their sight and knowledge; and also the joy there is among themselves.

Lucas 15:10 In-Context

8 ¿O qué mujer que tiene diez dracmas, si perdiere una dracma, no enciende la lámpara, y barre la casa, y busca con diligencia hasta hallarla

9 Y cuando la hubiere hallado, junta las amigas y las vecinas, diciendo: Regocijad conmigo, porque he hallado la dracma que había perdido

10 Así os digo que hay gozo delante de los ángeles de Dios por un pecador que se enmienda

11 Y dijo: Un hombre tenía dos hijos

12 y el menor de ellos dijo a su padre: Padre, dame la parte de la hacienda que me pertenece; y les repartió su sustento
