Jesus Talks About Kids Who Do Whatever They Want and That He Still Disgraces Himself to Run to Them

I thought Derrick did an amazing job last wednesday.

It is amazing to read this story in Luke 15, kept for us for 2000 years, that
so perfectly shows how God loves us.

I mean, we wouldn't have caught this otherwise i don't think... but in the
Jewish culture it would be very disgraceful for a father (especially a wealthy
respected one) to lift up his pants and come running towards the son who had
walked out on him. This would be like Billy Ray running towards Miley in a bathrobe
on national tv after she insulted his country career (he's got it coming), took all his money
and wrote "my dad is dead to me" on facebook.

And yet, thats what the father does. He didn't even care what the son had done.
He didn't care that he had wasted all of the fathers hard earned money.
He didn't care that he had partied, and wasted his life with prostitutes and alcohol.

So why do we? Why do we let those things keep people from coming to Jesus.
And why do we let those things keep us from coming to Jesus.

Here's the craziest thing about the story... God is running to you.
