“This Man receives sinners and eats with them.” – Luke 15:2
"I say to you, there is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance." – Luke 15:7
While there were complaints on earth, there was joy in heaven. The hypocrites grumbled because Jesus welcomed sinners, yet the repentance of those very sinners brings celebration and joy in heaven. Jesus shared a meal with them, and one day, they will share a seat at His heavenly table. He accepted sinners, and in return, they accepted Him as their Savior. The Pharisees may always find reasons to complain, but we should rejoice that the Lord seeks out and rescues the lost.
