When Jesus told the parable in Luke 15, He wasn’t just sketching a touching scene. He was showing the heart of God toward people who are truly lost — separated from Him by sin — and the joy of being found. The younger son’s journey from the far country to the Father’s embrace mirrors our own: the deceitful pleasure of sin, the emptiness that follows, the moment we “come to and end of ourselves,” and the hope of turning home.
“When he was yet a great way off, his father saw him… ran… and kissed him.” (Luke 15:20)
The gospel is good news because this Man receives sinners. Christ suffered for our sins (1 Peter 2:24), paid our debt in full, and offers peace with God to all who repent and believe (Romans 5:1; Mark 1:15).
Watch the full message below to hear how Luke 15 invites you home today.
