A modern day example:
There is a 100 member church. 1 member falls into gross sin and temptation. The session attempts to show him the error of his ways but he refuses thier counsel. The man is put under discipline and faces excommunication.
The Lord works in the mans life, he repents, and he is brought back into the church and
restored.
Everone in the Church rejoices over this and praises God for this 1 man who repented, then the 99 members of the church who did not go astray.
