We all know the story—the son who runs away, squanders everything, and comes home expecting rejection. But what if this parable isn’t really about his failure at all? What if it’s about a love that refuses to keep score?
Today, we dive into one of Jesus’ most radical messages: God’slove isn’t something we earn. It’s already running toward us—before we even turn back. But if that’s true, why do so many of us still live like we have toprove ourselves? And what about those moments when, deep down, we don’t want grace to be that easy for someone else?
Join me as we unpack this scandalous mercy—and what it means for us this Lent.
