2 Sam. 14 [The Message]

Even though Absalom had killed his brother, David still loved him and eventually forgqve him. Even after this son rose up in rebellion and tried to take the kingdom from David, still he loved him.

Often in movies on TV, the mother of a clearly rotten son will say, “He’s really a good boy.”

This is a way parents are wired. Thankfully, God our Father has made the blood of Christ to be a propitiation for our sins. He loves and accepts us regardless.
