Through the parable today Pastor Paula reminds us that God desires all to come to Him, but will not force anyone to have a relationship with Him. We all have the freedom to make the choice to follow Christ or not. And if we choose to follow Christ there will be a great celebration. God will always receive us when we choose to turn from our sin and follow Him. Jesus took all our sin upon Himself, therefore we don’t have to carry that shame anymore. We are forgiven through the blood of Christ.
