What can we learn?

 

Consistent love of the Father

But also the son acts based on what he thinks or feels instead of what he has been told

What can we learn?

 

Consistent love of the Father

But also the son acts based on what he thinks or feels instead of what he has been told

The son has always been told that he is loved – he just thinks that love is something else

 
1. What consistent love does.

1 Cor 13 – keeps doing these for the benefit of the other


2. Our identity.

We can all identify with one of them at some point:

Younger Son – ask for something that is not his

Older Brother – is not thankful for what he has


3. The Father knows:

He knows what the son is going to do with the money

Personality

Character

Habits

Traits

Who we are.


4. Change is possible.

When he came to his senses

He was better serving at home than dying in despair


5. Moving forward after forgiveness.

Celebrate the homecoming, not the mistakes


6. There is always the opportunity to come home.

This means different things to each son.

To one son it means he is forgiven

To the other it means he must forgive

 

Conclusion:

The consistent love of the Father calls to us all to change the way we see Him and the way we see each other.
