Look at this painting of Rembrandt. The returning of the prodigal son.Most people know the story of the prodigal son and if not you can read it in Luke 15:11-32.
Its a moving painting, look at the hands of the father who was waiting daily for his lost son. So is our heavenly Father waiting for us when we are lost and will there be joy in heaven when we return to our Father. Outspoken divine love without restrictions.
Also the angry son, who stayed home and served his father always is included in his love.
The father said: "You are always with me and all mine is yours, but your brother was dead and became alive again, he was lost and is found again." Come and celebrate his coming home, don't be angry but glad that your lost brother is saved and home.
This parable reminds us of the everduring love of God. How far we will astray from Him he still invites us to come back to Him.The angels in heaven will rejoice when a sinner returns and converted to the Father.This parable told Jesus and Jesus is the image of the unseen Father God.
God's love lasts forever!!
