Luk. 15. 23, 24. Bring hither the fatted Calls, and kill it, and let us eat, and be merry. For this my Son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.

MY beloved this text is so full of mercy, on Gods part, and so full of comfort for us, that methinks I may close the book, and have done as soon as I have begun: methinks the text might be a Sermon of it self. In it you have set before you the joy and triumph of heaven for the recovery of poor, dead, lost sinners.
1. You have heavens joy and triumph for them. Bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it and let us eat, and be merry. Under this is signified the Joy that is in heaven over one returning sinner. The Angels of God, yea, the God of the Angels, do rejoice in the conversion of one lost sinner.
