The story of the prodigal is probably one of the most-used parables for preachers delivering sermons. The picture is so poignant: a wayward son, taking more than he should, coming home to a father who accepts him with open arms. Pastor and author Tim Keller has an interesting take on this story, though. The word "prodigal," according to Keller has more a meaning of one who recklessly gives away money. In that case, the meaning might just as easily be assigned to the father. And of course this is accurate for who God is: lavishing his best on his children, true to his word, and always more full of love than we can imagine.
