I got a speed ticket this summer in Upstate New York while traveling to a retreat center. This is a reflection on the incident based on Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Manager recorded in Luke 16:1-13, a Lectionary passage of the week.

Jesus hears another complaint from some Pharisees Jesus welcomed tax collectors and sinners and ate with them Would have made him ritually unclean The younger son asked for his share of the inheritance early (which was acceptable). But He took his inheritance and squandered it on various pleasures. NIV…

If you pay attention to the details of this story and ponder it seriously, you will disagree with its traditional title being “the Prodigal Son” because this story is about “the Prodigal Father,” a father who is so extravagant with his love and grace. If you focus on the son, you miss a more profound side of the story.

Luke 15:11-24 The story of the prodigal son with an emphasis on the father. The father gives four keys as he deals with his son that help him to be the type of father God is to us.

God is a Great King. He is a good Father. He is more patient and kind than we have imagined Him to be. There is great joy in His Kingdom when even one sinner repents; when we change our mind and lay our trust in Him, alone. May we walk humbly considering ourselves and the gift of salvation to those who believe. God, keep us from arrogant, prideful attitudes of self-righteousness. LORD, you are all in all among those who believe You. Teach us to trust you more. Shared by Jason Stuart Percy on Sunday, August 8, 2021 at Refuge Christian Fellowship in Tallahassee, FL.

There are all sorts of things I expected to say at the beginning of this message, but I felt God wanted me to share something a little bit different to start out this morning.

Kelly shared with us today the story of the Prodigal Son. The father was waiting with wide open arms for his lost son to come home. The Father does the same with us. God is always home. He always leaves the light on for us! Is our home a place where God would like to visit? Are we serving and showing the fruit of the Spirit?
