072323-Prodigal God

Rev. Tom Hall

Jesus’ most famous parable of the father who redefines what it means to be a father by his over-the-top generosity and willingness to forgive. The late Henri Nouwen was so moved by seeing Rembrandt’s classic painting, “Return of the Prodigal,” and by studying Jesus’ great parable, that it changed his life. How do we learn to repent of our waywardness and our self-righteousness and become more like the father who empties himself?
