“Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.”
Luke 15:10 KJV
This was a parable of the woman who lost one of her ten silver coins. Jesus used the woman in the parable as a metaphor for God. Jesus shows the extraordinary value He places on every lost soul. Although the coin was lost, it never lost its value. That’s the way God responds every time one lost sinner repents and turns to Him. He says to all His angels, ‘Let’s have a joyous celebration, for the one who was lost, I have found!’” The silver coin had an image of Roman authority on it. We have been stamped with the image of God. Even when we are “lost” that image is still present, needing only to be “found” by grace and redeemed. There is a glorious celebration in heaven over the rescue of one lost sinner who repents and turns to God through the Blood sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world. Hallelujah!
