Can you imagine a situation where a son asked of his inheritance from Father's property? It was not after his father's demise but while the man was still alive!. Well that exactly what this stubborn child did.
It wasn't long before this young man packed his bags and left for a distant country. Think of the pain the father suffered for the callousness of this shameless son. Think of sadness and the agony of loosing a son to chances.can you imagine the reproach of the father's neighbor who taught he was careless in raising this child.
Anyway, the boy started big in the foreign land. He joined the company of the big boys. And eventually squandered all he had. The young man was captured by poverty which is the sure consequence of prodigality.
After sometime. He remembered he had a home and a loving father.He decided to return home to his caring father without minding the severe penalties that might be waiting for him.
But it was a big surprise to him and he people around, when his father who had been waiting for his return ran to meet him while he was some distance from home. The embraced him and commended his servant to change his dress and to put the Family ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.oh! What Manner of love is this?
God love you more than this. There are four word for love in Greek language:
(1) Eros getting love
(2) stargo caring love
(3)gatos sharing love
(4)Agape giving love
Agape is a love called out of one's heart by the preciousness of the one loved. It is a kind of love which implore one to sacrifce for the benefit of the person loved. This love seek to give rather than to get. Agape love keeps on loving without asking for returning.
The Bible says while we while we were yet sinners,Christ died for us. Christ died for your sin not because of what you had for Him. Open your heart today to Him and make Him your saviour and lord.
