PARAPHRASED QUOTES AND STORIES FROM JESUS
The Lost Sheep & The Lost Son (rejoicing for those who have given up their life of sin)
There will be more joy in heaven over one who gives up their life of sin and seeks God's ways than those who have been living faithfully in God.
You may be wondering, when did Jesus paraphrase his own words? There are examples where the disciples asked Jesus to explain the meaning of what He said. And Jesus asked them, "why are having trouble understanding this?" Then He would explain it to them in another way.
