Luke 15
The story of the Prodigal Son is really a story about a father’s love. The son’s errant journey is not the focus … the father’s love when the son returns home is what’s important.
If you’re not a father, it may be difficult to understand why the father was so quick to forgive and welcome his son home. But, if you are a (Christian) father, you know that nothing a son does can diminish the love and care you have for him.
A father’s love causes him to leave the 99 safe sheep and seek out the lost sheep who needs recovering. A father’s love just keeps coming and praying and believing for the best for his son.
We need more fathers.
