Luke 15: 3-7 - 'There will be rejoicing in heaven over one repentant sinner.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 545 (In 'The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God') - Jesus invites sinners to the table of the kingdom: “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” He invites them to that conversion without which one cannot enter the kingdom, but shows them in word and deed his Father’s boundless mercy for them and the vast “joy in heaven over one sinner who repents.” The supreme proof of his love will be the sacrifice of his own life “for the forgiveness of sins.”

- 589 (In 'Jesus & Israel's Faith in the One God & Saviour') - Jesus gave scandal above all when he identified his merciful conduct toward sinners with God’s own attitude toward them. He went so far as to hint that by sharing the table of sinners he was admitting them to the messianic banquet (abbreviated).

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Gospel Exegesis podcast, which is produced by the Logical
0:18.4	Bible Study Ministry. This is the only Catholic ministry out there
0:22.1	where every single day we're helping you dive into the text of scripture and really taking
0:27.2	it apart verse by verse. That's the goal of this ministry is to help you understand the gospel
0:32.3	reading from today's Mass from the perspective of the literal sense, which is where the Catholic
0:37.3	Church says we have to start. If we want to understand the text of the literal sense, which is where the Catholic Church says we have to
0:38.4	start. If we want to understand the text of the Bible, we have to look at the literal sense.
0:42.7	What did the original author mean? Why did they choose certain words? What was Jesus trying to get at
0:47.9	with certain parables? And we do that by looking at the very best scholarship. The best Catholic
0:53.3	scholarship from the church fathers
0:55.7	up to modern scholars today, faithful to the teaching of the church. We always want to make sure
1:01.4	that the way we interpret scripture is in line with how the church interprets scripture.
1:06.8	So today we're looking at Luke chapter 15 verses 3 to 7. So it's a shorter one today.
1:13.7	Jesus spoke this parable to the scribes and the Pharisees.
1:18.3	What man among you with a hundred sheep losing one would not leave the 99 in the wilderness
1:25.2	and go after the missing one till he found it. And when he found it,
1:31.1	would he not joyfully take it on his shoulders? And then, when he got home, call together his
1:37.2	friends and neighbours. Rejoice with me, he would say, I have found my sheep that was lost.
1:44.0	In the same way, I tell you, there will be
1:46.7	more rejoicing in heaven over one repentant sinner than over 99 virtuous men who have no need
1:54.4	of repentance. So some quite tender words there from Jesus, and you've probably seen many of the
2:00.5	pictures of Jesus
