The son who comes home

To explain what God’s love is like, Jesus told the story of a son who asked for his inheritance, went far away and wasted it. When he came home, sorry and hungry, his father saw him from far off, ran to embrace him and threw a feast.

“He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
