Dr. John MuhlfeldJune 20, 2021Passage: Luke 15:11-24
Though the end of Luke 15 is typically referred to as the parable of the lost son, the main emphasis is on the grace of the merciful father. The one sinned against bears the cost and shame of his child’s disobedience so that he may receive him back in love. So, too, God the Father welcomes back lost sinners through Jesus’ atoning work on the cross, rejoicing to bring the dead to life.
