Episode notes
Father Is The Story's Center
- The parable's main character is the father, not the runaway son.
- The story showcases the recklessness of God's love more than the son's wastefulness.
Threefold Anatomy Of Sin
- Sin's anatomy contains three elements: independence, instant gratification, and wishing the father dead.
- J.D. Greear says the essence of sin is when the middle letter of 'sin' is I — self-centered rebellion.
Don't Let Sin Cancel God's Love
- Your sin does not cancel God's love; He loved you while you were still a sinner.
- J.D. Greear urges listeners to hear that God is looking for and longing for them to come home now.
