HE IS A PERSONAL SAVIOR - "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the
presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." (Luke
15:10)
I love this verse.
Read it carefully, it does not say the angels rejoice as some preach
this verse, but it says that the joy is in the presence of the angels.
Angels have nothing to rejoice over, they have no Savior, they do not
understand the grace of God and were clueless as to why God would
come in the flesh to die for such a wretched people (Ephesians 3:1-12,
notice verse 10 that we are, right here and now, God's trophy of grace
to the angels to make known the grace of God even to the angels who are
clueless).
In Luke 15:10 I see it is God Himself, our Lord Jesus Christ,
doing the rejoicing in the presence of the angels. Why? We are the
masterpiece of His creation (angels are not even mentioned in creation
while man is the "very good" of His creation in Genesis 1:31). Why? We
are the apple of his eye (Psalm 17:8; Zechariah 2:8). Why? We are His
pride and joy (Hebrews 12:2). NO DOUBT, He personally stands (Acts 7:56)
and rejoices when another sinner comes home. WHY? HE IS A PERSONAL
SAVIOR, PRAISE GOD!!!
