The most accurate and compelling portrait of the yet unknown innately relational and compassionate paternal nature of God the Father, and His irresistible attitude of unashamed loving embrace towards us as fallen humanity, was given when Jesus Christ depicted the ‘running Father’!
The scandalous public embrace, open affection and instant unconditional reconciliation with His undeserving detestable wayward failure of a useless son, epitomizes the ‘bosom of the Father’ that Jesus came to reveal to humanity!
This same concerned Father is further illustrated standing outside in the darkness, urgently pleading with his prideful and deluded self-righteous oldest boy.
A son who has excluded himself because he hates the thought of his unworthy brother’s unsolicited pardon and empathetic inclusion into the life and love of their Fathers family!
