Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
Rejoice with me, etc.—The principle here is, that one feels exuberant joy to be almost too much for himself to bear alone, and is positively relieved by having others to share it with him. (See on Luke 15:10).
I. THE LOST SHEEP. (Luke 15:3-7)
Occurring again (Matthew 18:12-14); but there to show how precious one of His sheep is to the Good Shepherd; here, to show that the shepherd, though the sheep stray never so widely, will seek it out, and when he hath found, will rejoice over it.
