We began a new message series today - focused on the "parable of the prodigal son" - but we are using the title from Tim Keller's book, "The Prodigal God."
Prodigal = spending resources freely and recklessly; wastefully extravagant.
Making a case that the "real" prodigal in the story is the Father - who gives freely - some might say recklessly or even wastefully - grace.
Today we looked at the younger son coming to a "moment of clarity."
I believe God initiates moments of clarity in everyone's life. Believer or non-believer; active or inactive; God is at work. The Holy Spirit gives the moment of clarity where one sees who they are and where they are, and where they might be and who they could be in Christ.
Our response to our moment of clarity - be it a flash or flicker of light or a full-fledged vision - determines the rest of our story.
The son in the story "got up and went to his Father."
How will we respond to our moments of clarity?
It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too.
