Luke 15:11-32 tells us about a younger son who asks for his inheritance and leaves his father. This son immediately squanders it and ends up being a servant for someone else. He eventually comes to the conclusion that he would be better off as a servant for his father and still be well taken care of. When this younger son sees his father he tells him he has sinned and is not worthy to be called his son. But the father welcomes the son with open arms and tells his servant to bring the finest robes and to ready a party for him. Can you imagine how scared this son was to return, admit his wrong, and ask for forgiveness? But we see the father welcome him back no problem. Guys this is our relationship with God. We may mess up and think we know better, but God is waiting for you with open arms when you return. Later in this passage we see the elder brother and he basically says its not fair, but the father explains that the son has everything the father does. The father also tells the eldest that the other brother was lost but now is found and it should be a happy occasion. Earlier this week I saw a clip of a preacher asking how different would it have been had the younger brother ran into the eldest brother on the way home. That hit hard because I have a similar situation and I don’t always have the father’s perspective in the story. This same preacher said don’t be the reason they don’t come back. Our opinion on what should happen doesn’t matter only God’s opinion does, and He wants all of his sheep to return. Never think you are too far gone to be apart of God’s family. Jesus died for you so through him you can be reconciled to God. Run!!! Run back to your Father’s arms!!!
