(Text: Luke 15:18)
nnnnI will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
nnnnFOCUS :There are lots of souls out there who are just wondering about and have no rest even for their souls. Our Lord Jesus is so much passionate about every single soul that are heading to perish. However, we all should know, that this is what brings the devil’s joy when he sees that souls are going to meet with him in hell someday. You know, one thing is certain about the devil, does not replenish; he only uses and abuses.
nnnnIn addition, the first step for penitent soul; until that step is taken, the realization of need, nothing can be done; the word “arise” tells us that the journey to God is always upward, while that with Satan is always downward. The young man did not plead extenuating circumstances, lay the blame on others, or plead wrongs done to him; he placed the blame squarely where it belonged, upon himself; confession of wrongdoing us always demanded by God 1John 1:9.
nnnnFinally, Luke 15:19-20 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
nnnnThis present the second requirement – admitted unworthiness. Present the position of humanity, which is necessary; however, God has never received one as such. In other words, He will never make a “hired servant” out of a “son.” The Father was earnestly looking for him, the Lord always looking for compassion. The only occasion given in the Bible of God running, and that is to welcome home a lost soul. No matter how far you have gone into the world, God can still bring you to Himself and cover your nakedness.
