Burden For The Lost

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 2, 2024

The elder son was in close proximity to the Father, but their hearts were far apart. The elder son's thinking differed from the father's thinking. Despite residing at Father's house, the elder brother did not share the Father's burden for the lost son.

And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. Luke 15:20 The prodigal son has returned to the Father, but there are many elder sons who still have not returned to the Father. ...read more

Why, then, do I love this verse? Simply because in ...read more
