Luke 15:25-32

Listen to Luke 15:25-32
25 "The older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 So he called one of the servants. He asked him what was going on.
27 " 'Your brother has come home,' the servant replied. 'Your father has killed the fattest calf. He has done this because your brother is back safe and sound.'
28 "The older brother became angry. He refused to go in. So his father went out and begged him.
29 "But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've worked like a slave for you. I have always obeyed your orders. You never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
30 But this son of yours wasted your money with some prostitutes. Now he comes home. And for him you kill the fattest calf!'
31 " 'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me. Everything I have is yours.
32 But we had to celebrate and be glad. This brother of yours was dead. And now he is alive again. He was lost. And now he is found.' "

The Gracious Father, Part 1
The Gracious Father, Part 1
Tim Kelley

Understanding the depths of God's grace is essential if we are to ever live in the flow of the Spirit. Grace is to receive something without earning it or deserving it. Once given, grace does not need to be paid back. Grace sees nothing of greater or lesser value in its recipient. It's the same for everybody. Grace is never withdrawn if it is not appreciated, acknowledged or embraced. Jesus sees the rot in all of us, yet he likes us and is for us. It's the message of the Cross.
