Fatherhood can leave us with deep gratitude, deep wounds, or both. But beneath every experience with an earthly father is a greater question: What is God the Father really like? In Luke 15, Jesus tells a story that overturns many of our assumptions about God. Rather than a distant Father waiting for us to prove ourselves, we find a Father who pursues the lost, runs toward prodigals, restores identity, and welcomes sinners home through grace. The gospel is not the story of people earning their way back to God. It is the story of a good Father moving toward His children.
