The story of the Prodigal Son is one we can all relate to. The Bible tells the story of a brash young man who leaves his home after asking for his inheritance. His loving father complies, and let’s just say the son learns some valuable lessons on his travels.
Eventually, he humbles himself and comes home; he needs his father and his family.
It is really a story of Jesus and us.
Matthew 7:7, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
We screw up sometimes. Maybe it’s so bad we can’t see a way back.
That’s when Jesus stretches out His arms and welcomes us home. He isn’t as concerned with where we’ve been as He is with where we end up. His perfect love and forgiveness are the only real ointment for our self-inflicted wounds. If you think you’ve screwed up too much, put that out of your mind and simply tell Jesus you need Him.
Let’s pray.
Lord, your willingness to welcome us back to fellowship is something to behold. We are grateful for your grace. In Jesus’ name, amen.
