Come, Rejoice with Me

 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, "Rejoice with me..."
Luke 15:6

And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, "Rejoice with me"
Luke 15:9

It was right that we should make merry and be glad
Luke 15:32

When I was growing up, it was called, "the parable of the prodigal son." From some who understood it a little better, I learned to call it, "the parable of the older brother." But, ultimately, I think it is "the parable of the rejoicing Father." It is an invitation to "come and rejoice with Me," when He saves tax collectors and sinners (cf. Lk 15:1)
