"I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance". Compare to Matthew 18:10-14..." For the Son of man is come to save that which is lost. How think ye? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father, which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish". A supreme Christian motive is that we conduct ourselves in such a way that no one else may be lost on account of our example. Jesus said this a number of times, in different connections.

Please come into my heart and save me. Amen. If you meant that, your saved and go to heaven. That's the one and only way!

The overall theme of this story is the joy of God, and the celebrations that occur in heaven when a sinner comes to God and repents and is given salvation.
