Our Heavenly Father's Forgiving Heart Luke 15 20-32





Read the passage: Luke 15

1) A concern not tied to a response.
20And 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.


2) A love that requires no prompting. 20

3) A love greater than sin.
21And 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.


4) Worthiness given for the unworthy. 21

5) He adds His own view of a life.
22But 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:


6) He gives what He deems best. 22

7) He celebrates over restoration of a heart.
23And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:


8) He values restoration of life.
24For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.


9) He sees fulfilled purpose for a life. 24

10) He defends and upholds with His favor.
32It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
