The Father Who Runs.
No matter how far we run, God's love runs faster to meet us.
The pen made him remember home. Sin always costs more than you think. The world promises freedom, but delievers famine. The moment you decide to return from sin, heaven starts celebrating. Father, I have sinned, make me like one of your hired servants. Repentance is honest.
Notice 4 things about God the Father here:
1. He watches: The Father looks down the road every day for sinners.
2. He runs faster to me sinners: God humbles Himself to meet us when we repent.
3.He embraces: Before confession, before cleaning us up, Grace speak first.
4. He restores: God totally restores all our joy and happiness through His love and that is Jesus Christ. God doesn't give us what we deserve, He gives us what Jesus Christ deserves.
The older brother was angry and said, you never gave me servant mindset, I have worked for you. He served for reward, not relationship. He was lost at home. The father says, you are always with me, and all I have is yours.
This tells us that,
You can be in church and still be lost. Religion without relationship makes you bitter.
If you are the Prodigal, come home today. God is not waiting with a stick. He's waiting with a robe, just confession and return to Him, restoration is sure for you my brother or sister.
If you are the Older Brother, Check your heart, are you serving God but resending others? Celebrate when sinners repent.
See what the Father did, He runs, He forgives, He throws parties.
The son said "I will go home" But the Father said "I will run to you"
That's the Gospel. We were dead, but now we are alive. We were lost, but now we are found.
Which son are you today?
The one far away or the one bitter at home?
The Father is calling both " Come home"
