This section that we've been in or this chapter has been the chapter entitled Stories, where we have looked at a variety of parables, parables, the earthly story with heavenly purpose or heavenly meaning. So the first detail, looking at that flock of sheep, the flock of 100 sheep would be an average flock. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors saying to them, rejoice with me for I have found my sheep that was lost and jumping down to verse nine. She calls together her friends and neighbors saying, rejoice with me for I have found the coin that I had lost the shepherd and the woman. They call their friends to throw a celebration, to celebrate that that which was lost is now found and they want to celebrate. Just so I tell you there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous persons who need no repentance.
