Luke 15:11-32 – The Lost Son

Even as the Lost Son always had the option of repenting and returning home, so also all sinners, no matter how wicked, may confess their sins and return to God in complete and sincere repentance. (:11-20a)

Even as the father went to elaborate lengths to offer reconciliation to the Lost Son, so also God offers all people, however undeserving, lavish forgiveness of their sins if they are willing to accept it. (:20b-24)

Even as the older brother should not have begrudged the Lost Son's reinstatement, but rather rejoiced in it, so also those calling themselves God's children should be glad and not mad when God extends his forgiveness to even the most undeserving. (:25-32)
