DESCRIPTION

“Some want to live within the sound of chapel bells, but I want to run a rescue shop a yard from the gates of hell.” C. T. Studd

Rembrandt’s painting: He is kneeling because He can’t do life alone.

Henri Nouwen writes: Yet over and over again I have left home. I have fled the hands of blessing and run to faraway places searching for love! This is the great tragedy of my life and the lives of so many I meet on my journey. Somehow I have become deaf to the voice that calls me the Beloved… There are many other voices. The dark voices of my surrounding world try to persuade me that I am no good and that I can only become good by earning my goodness through “making it” up the ladder of success.

Read Luke 15:25-32

Remember the audience that Jesus is speaking too…

Luke 15:1-2 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

He is more lost than the younger brother. Why?
