Fulfilling Stories - Overjoyed

This is the second part of the previous sermon.  First is the desire of bringing a person to Christ.  But then, there is a desire of celebration.  Each life that is saved it is a reason of Celebration.  Kalas explains how we focus a lot in the process of the person that is saved when we preach on these parables. He brings the point of focusing in God. God wants to celebrate the person who is saved!  He invites the angels to celebrate! Jesus is WELCOMING the sinner and that is what makes the Pharisees upset.  They do not understand that from Jesus, but that is what God does with us.  We are saved and celebrated by our Lord!
