A FATHER FILLED WITH COMPASSION
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. And to all who have been like a father to so many.
I am realizing that, as in the parable that Jesus tells in Luke 15 about a prodigal son welcomes home by his father, my father loved me even through all of my rebellion and bad behavior, too. Perhaps yours did, too.
Some of our fathers were not good fathers at all. Some were mean and vindictive and were never filled with compassion. On this Father’s Day, may we see in this parable of Jesus, a story of a father who was. It is also a story that points us to our Heavenly Father, who definitely is.
A Father, Filled with Compassion
