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 supongamos que una mujer tiene diez monedas de plata y pierde una. ¿No enciende una lámpara, barre la casa y busca con cuidado hasta encontrarla?

9 Y cuando la encuentra, reúne a sus amigas y vecinas, y les dice: “Alégrense conmigo; ya encontré la moneda que se me había perdido”.

10 Les digo que así mismo se alegra Dios con sus ángeles por un pecador que se arrepiente.

11 »Un hombre tenía dos hijos —continuó Jesús—.

12 El menor de ellos le dijo a su padre: “Papá, dame lo que me toca de la herencia”. Así que el padre repartió sus bienes entre los dos.
