What Is God Like?

Luke 15.11-25

In this parable, we see ...

… a father who is powerful .

He is wealthy and influential .

He is neither old , nor weak .

He is not hard of hearing .

He is not dead .

… a father who is willing to let go .

God did not create us to be robots .

God created us in His own image .

… a father who is filled to overflowing with love .

God’s love has no limits .

God’s love is patient .

God’s love is eager .

God’s love focuses on the sinner , not the sin .

God’s love is a joyful love.

… a father of total forgiveness .

The father welcomed him back - unconditionally !

He wipes the slate clean .

… a father who welcomes us home!

He restores the prodigal back to the family.

This is the nature of God - the God you worship .

What about us?

The Father, still today, watches and waits .

The weary are welcomed home!

Why not come home?
