In this parable, Jesus teaches us about the Father's love for us through the parable of the lost son.

Notice the Father's Heart and Action:

1. The Father Loved the Son When He Was Home (Ps 100)
2. The Father Loved the Son When He Left Home (2 Cor 5:14)
3. The Father Loved the Son When He Came Home   (2 Pet 3:9)  — God desires that all people come to repentance.
