Each week we post a scripture reading (usually a reading for the coming Sunday). You are invited to read the passage and reflect on the question asked. May these readings be a blessing.
Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32
This passage from Luke is what is commonly known as the Parable of the Prodigal Son. It could also be known as the Parable of the Loving Father as seen in this section of the passage.
So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.
Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!’ And they began to celebrate.
How have you experienced this kind of love in your life? When have you shared this kind of love with others?
