He sees right through us at a glance, as if we were made of glass; he sees all our past, present, and future.

Prodigal Love For The Prodigal Son, Volume 37, Sermon #2236 - Luke 15:20

Charles Spurgeon

The prodigal son is neither a backslider nor a sinner. The prodigal son is the human race; they went out to the pigsty in Adam and came back in Christ, My Son.

A. W. Tozer; David E. Fessenden

9582 Like the father of the Prodigal Son, God can see repentance coming a great way off and is there to meet it, the repentance is the reconciliation.

Dorothy L. Sayers

1838The doctrine of free will has not a single specimen to show to prove itself. There is not a sheep in all the flock that came back to the shepherd unsought. There is not a single piece of money which leaped again into the woman’s purse; she swept the house to find it. There is not even a single prodigal son in the entire family who did ever say, “I will arise, and go unto my Father” till first the Father’s grace, veiling itself in the afflicting providence of a mighty famine, had taught the prodigal the miserable results of sin.—11.686

Charles Spurgeon

1841The prodigal son was resolved to come, yet he was half-afraid. But we read that his father ran. Slow are the steps of repentance, but swift are the feet of forgiveness. God can run where we can scarcely limp, and if we are limping toward him, he will run toward us. Though the father was out of breath, he was not out of love.—37.650

Charles Spurgeon

In the far country, the prodigal learned the meaning of misery; but back home, he discovered the meaning of mercy.

Warren W. Wiersbe

“To be hungry is not enough; I must be really starving to know what is in [God’s] heart towards me. When the prodigal son was hungry he went to feed upon husks, but when he was starving, he turned to his father”

John F. MacArthur
