The Parable of the Lost Sheep

So He told them this parable, saying, “What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? “When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. “And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ “I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. ~ Luke 15:3-7

persons who need no repentance. I.e., those who think themselves righteous ~ John MacArthur

 

Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. ~ Luke 15:7

 

The ninety-and-nine just people are the Scribes and Pharisees who complained at Christ receiving sinners, believing that they were righteous, perfectly righteous, and without sin, so their repentance was not necessary; now there is more joy in heaven for one repentant sinner than for all of them: For this reason, learn that a self-righteous person is an unrepentant one; and that in heaven a repentant sinner is regarded more highly because they are truly saved and born again.
