Just Come Home
The Prodigal Son. This may be Jesus’ greatest parable. I wrote about this story last week. It’s a powerful revelation of the heart of the Father — the heart of God and unconditional love. This is the thing the Pharisees knew nothing about, it’s why their souls were lost and their theology skewed. The Pharisees were like the older brother inside the father’s house, never understanding what’s going on in the Father’s heart.
In the gospel of Luke, the prodigal son doesn't return home because of a renewed love for his father. He comes back home simply to survive because he ran out of money and is $tarving. And his father is perfectly fine with that! Just come home. God just wants you home. @richvillodas ~BZ
