And let us not only be merry, let us be happy, let us feast and let us revel!
Please read Luke 15:23!
“And bring out that [wheat-] fattened calf and kill it, and let us revel and feast and be happy and merry;…” (The Amplified Bible)
WHY?
BECAUSE ONCE I WAS DARKNESS, BUT NOW I AM LIGHT IN THE LORD. (dead-alive; lost-found) Please read Luke 15:24 in The Amplified Bible.
In Luke 15:32 we read: “But it was fitting to make merry, to revel and feast and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead, and is alive again! He was lost and is found!”
And here is what the older son [the elder brother] said: “But he answered his father, Lo, these many years I have served you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you never gave me [so much as] a (little) kid, that I might revel and feast and be happy and make merry with my friends;…” – Luke 15:29 (The Amplified Bible)
CAN YOU SAY ONCE I WAS DARKNESS, BUT NOW I AM LIGHT IN THE LORD? (dead-alive; lost-found)
