When the prodigal boy returns home, his manful individual nurture runs eagerly to covert him.
This is the 3rd of 3 parables inwards Luke 15 that give away God's pump for the lost.
In the kickoff 2 parables, the shepherd together with adult woman won't residual until they detect the lost sheep together with coin.
But inwards this 3rd parable, the manful individual nurture doesn't chase later on his son.
I intend these parables shows 2 aspects of God's character.
1. God's concern (and ours) is to diligently attempt the lost (Luke 19:10). We shouldn't residual until all nations accept heard the Truth (Mark 13:10). Because all who attempt Him volition detect Him (Jeremiah 29:13).
2. Some people know near God's love--like the prodigal knew near his father's love, precisely they plough away. God may non chase later on them physically, precisely He volition never forget them together with volition eagerly expect for their return.
Are you lot waiting for someone to "return home"? So is God.
