The Son Returns

If someone asked me where to start in scripture, I would tell them to read and reread the parable of the lost son every day for a month. Read it, meditate on it, understand it in every aspect. If you sink your teeth into these few passages, not only will you understand the message of the Gospel, but you will come away exceedingly happy about who you are in Christ.

Whenever you're sad, sorrowful or just feeling somehow disconnected. THIS is the passage. Write it down, print it and carry it with you. This is going to be the first passage I will memorize from beginning to end.

Today we witness the return of the son to his father. Luke 15:18-24. Sometimes, it's hard to impart the emotion of what is in here. But maybe this will help. I'm sure you've come across those reality tv shows where an adopted son has decided to go find his parents. If not, they are all over YouTube and they get millions of views. Here is just one of many:

I urge everyone to watch that with the Parable of the Prodigal Son on the brain. Project that emotion you get from watching the video onto the parable and then multiply that by 1000 and that's how much God rejoices for each of his saved.
