What is God really like? In this insightful episode, Dr. Jacob Cherian explores the powerful teachings of Gospel of Luke 15, where Jesus Christ reveals the heart of the Father through three unforgettable parables: the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Prodigal Son. These stories show that the Gospel is not merely about the lost being found—but about a merciful Father who seeks, forgives, and restores His children with grace and love.

This message highlights how Jesus perfectly reveals the nature of God and why the well-known Prodigal Son story can rightly be called “The Parable of the Merciful Father.” Through rich biblical teaching and reflections from literature and art—including The Return of the Prodigal Son, the poem The Hound of Heaven by Francis Thompson, and themes from Les Misérables by Victor Hugo—this episode paints a vivid picture of God’s pursuing, forgiving, and transforming love.

Discover how God’s mercy challenges our ideas of fairness, why forgiveness stands at the center of the Gospel, and how believers are called to reflect the same compassion and mercy in their own lives.

Listen in and be reminded of this life-changing truth: the heart of the Gospel is that God is merciful. 🎙️📖
