This is the sixth in a sermon series based on 1 Corinthians 13’s treatise on love and titled, “Love, Always.” Today’s reading is the familiar story of the Prodigal Son, and the Rev. Brandon Baxter reviews a number of perspectives on the story but directs us to treat it ultimately as a human story, one that is instructive for us. We make mistakes in judgment, misdirections in our lives, and we often find ourselves depressed and/or grieving. But this story reminds us of the all-embracing love of people close to us, as well as God’s unconditional love. From 1 Corinthians 13, “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things,” all of which are demonstrated in this story.
