In Luke 15, all three parables stress the importance of rejoicing in community. "Come, and celebrate with me;" what was lost has been found!
Each Sunday morning, this is exactly what we do. The week may have been difficult: full of sorrow, frustration, anger, disappointment and sorrow. But on the Lord's Day (the Sabbath), we gather as a community to rejoice. To proclaim and feel the joy that is ours. The world and all its troubles does not rest entirely on our shoulders; God is in control. We are loved with an inexhaustible love. All shall be well---even when we cannot see, nor even imagine, how.
"For in you [O God], my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge....For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens; your faithfulness extends to the clouds." (Psalm 57)
