(Lake 15:24) The most famous of all parables, the Prodigal Son, should be named the Parable of Parenthood. Jesus revealed in it, as could be dope only by a heart-warming story, tbs dimensions of God’s fath erhood and the qualities of His fatherliness. He does not forget our sins with a shrug, saying, “Never mind; it’s nothing.” He does not erase the hurt, or cancel out the injury, or blot out the guilt. In stead, He forgives, without taking away an ounce of the enormity of the sin. He removes the power of sin over ua—loosens its bold upon us, releases us from the guilt complex—so that we can find our way back to fellowship with Him. Ws do not deserve it, and we cannot hope to understand it; but like the blessedly good parent He is, our heavenly Father assures us that seeking forgivenes and fellowship, we belong to His household of faith. There we can be at home with Him.
