“Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
And he said, A certain man had two sons:
and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father.
But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.”
Luke 15:1-2, 11-24 KJV
The son was broken in his sin it lead him to swualler, realizing it was he who had chosen to leave home. He remembered his father house and hoped to be received as a hired servant because he was no longer worthy of his Fathers Love and name no longer worthy to be a son
this was his thinking , what he hadn’t realized is all the while his father was waiting and watching for any sign of his son to repent of his wrong choices and come home.
before he gets there a long ways off yet The dignified and royal Father breaks into a run , “ is that him ? Is that my dear son ?!” The pace quickens “ it’s him ! It’s him he’s coming home !”
Faster he runs to him tears of joy in his eyes throwing his longing arms around his wayward son who’d done it all the wrong way until he remembered his fathers home and decided to make his way in humility
hes trying hard to just beg to be a servant to explain he knows what he did wrong , trying to tell him” I’m no longer worthy father to be your son “ I’ve done too much wrong “
But , the Father doesn’t seem to be listening to him he’s busy hugging and kissing clothing him putting the family crest on his hand , getting a celebration prepared
“ look all my son , my son is come home he was lost to me but now he’s found , it was like he was dead these many years , and now my son he lives “
To really understand God and ourselves we look at Jesus and see him so clearly and it’s beautiful and it’s powerful and it’s strong enough to call us home.
“that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.”
Ephesians 3:17-19 KJV
his love is wide , wide enough to bridge the gap between God and man. His love is long ot reaches from the beginning and will reach eternity. His love is deep ot reaches even to the depths of the earth to pull
Men from the grave his love is high it is high enough to lift us from our knees into the heavens where we rest before his throne
