So he got up and came to his father.
But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt
compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
Luke
15:20 New American Standard
Bible (NASB)
This is another parable Jesus
told to prove a point. It is the story of a man whose son took his share of the
inheritance and squandered it. When the money ran out he couldn’t find a job
that paid enough to even buy food or lodging. Eventually he got so low that he
decided to go back and ask his father for a job (because he didn’t think he
would be accepted back as a son), at least then he would have food. But before
he arrived at his home, his father saw him and ran to meet him. The son
repented, the father forgave him and threw a party to celebrate his return.
That is how God is with us. It doesn’t matter what we have done or how far we
have run from God, He will always take us back, not as a servant, but as a
child, and all heaven will rejoice! God will not condemn if you repent. Return
to Him and experience His compassion!
