"Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, "This
Man receives sinners and eats with them." So He spoke this parable to them, saying: ‘What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he
loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he
has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to
them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one
sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance" (Luke 15:1-7 NKJV).
There is nothing that pleases God more than for a person to repent. He rejoices when just one person turns to Him for comfort and
mercy. The love of God moves with grace to save the worst of all sinners. Sadly, however, many people misunderstand God’s grace
and repentance, hence they miss the mark at pleasing Him (Romans 3:23).
