Last month I spoke 3 times in different settings on the Parable of the Lost Son (Luke 15) – in preparing and speaking I became convinced that this story is not primarily about either of the sons, but about the Father.
In the same way that the other parables aren’t about the sheep or the coin, but the one who looks for them!
Here are some things the Father does, He: gives, looks, sees, has compassion, runs, embraces, kisses… he gives again, he clothes, he celebrates… he pleads, he’s always been giving!
All this said, I’m really happy the Tim Keller’s new book ‘The Prodigal God‘ has been released in the UK… and I’m really really happy that the Good Book Company are stocking it, and for the bargain price of £10, that’s cheaper than Amazon!! I’ve ordered my copy, you should do the same!
