Bible Video Of The Day! Also available on ‘Divine Tv’ ~ South Goa @ 7.00 am Thursday 7th November 2013 ......I tell you, in the same way there is rejoicing among the angels of God over one repentant sinner. REFLECTION In the first story of the Gospel text of today, the joy of finding the lost sheep is compared with the joy that God feels over the repentance of one sinner. The second parable which is that of the lost coin features a woman with ten coins. A drachma was a silver coin worth about a denarius, or a days wage. Hence ten drachma was not a great sum of money. This makes it clear that the parable is pointing not to the great monetary value of the coin or loss but to the human reaction to prize what is lost, even if it is of lesser value than repentant sinner, the focus seems to be on the rejoicing, and the call to the righteous to join in the celebration. Whether one will join in the celebration will reveal whether ones relationships are based on merit or mercy. Those who cannot rejoice exclude themselves from Gods Grace. Do you believe that you have been forgiven/accepted/loved? Will you forgive/accept/love in return? ~Luke 15:1-10
