This week, we stepped into one of Jesus’ most well-known stories — the parable of the prodigal son — but with fresh eyes and open hearts. More than a tale of rebellion and return, this story reveals the heart of the Father: compassionate, pursuing, and eager to restore. We traced the downward spiral of the younger son into spiritual poverty and the tragic distance of the elder son, physically near yet spiritually far. But at the center of it all stands the Father — running toward the broken, embracing the ashamed, and reminding the self-righteous that everything He has is already theirs. Whether you’re coming home for the first time or realizing you’ve been in the house with the wrong heart, the invitation is the same: come in. The table is set. The celebration has already begun.
