Luke 15:10

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

Luke 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.

Luke 15:10 In-Context

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?

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

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

11 Then he said, "There was once a man who had two sons.

12 The younger said to his father, 'Father, I want right now what's coming to me.'
