Daily Devotion - Luke 15:7 "...there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than..."
Sharing an encouraging daily devotion that I follow. I would encourage everyone to follow along as well. You can do that HERE!
He Cares – Luke 15:7
Welcome to Scriptures for Life with TorahFamily.org. Taking time to focus on the Father’s way.
Luke 15:7 - "I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."
This is from the parable of the lost sheep. Yeshua starts the parable by saying, “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them.” He then describes how the person would leave the ninety-nine until he finds the one lost. Then throws a party for finding it. Yeshua then says, “I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.”
The initial thought many have is “How can there be more rejoicing over the one than the 99?” It’s not that there isn’t a thankfulness or a gladness for those who have stayed. It’s more to show us just how concerned He is for all of us as individuals.
His care for all of us far more than we can imagine. It just goes beyond our human capacity of reason. Remember, He really does care for you.
Let this be a focus in your time of meditation throughout the day. Until next time, Shalom.

I'm reading The Chronological Gospels by Rood right now and this was the passage I read this morning! I understand the feeling! If one of family came to know Yah, tears of joy!!! Oh how I just want them to get it!!! So until then I keep praying for Holy Spirit to remove the veil from their eyes and stone from their hearts.
I have that book as well! I never heard of the Messiah's ministry being only around 70 weeks before, always heard it was 3.5 years. He makes some compelling points on why he doesn't think it was that long! Yes we all have family that we want the veil to be removed but you nailed it in say that we just have to pray and allow the Holy Spirit to do the work because all we can do is plant the seed, live like Yeshua did and be a shining light in where ever and in whatever we do!
