What Does He Think of Me Now? | Christ For YouLuke 15:1–32 | Trinity 3The Pharisees are offended because Jesus receives sinners and eats with them.Not respectable sinners. Not cleaned-up sinners. Tax collectors, public sinners, unclean sinners, the kind of people religious men thought God should keep at a distance.But Jesus does not apologize. He tells a story.A son runs from his father, wastes everything, destroys himself, and comes home with nothing. What will the father do? Will he shame him? Reject him? Make him earn his way back? Or will he receive him?What does this parable teach us about guilt, repentance, shame, and the heart of God? Why do we secretly imagine God keeping score? What happens when we treat forgiveness like a point system? And what does it mean that the father runs to embrace his lost son?This Trinity 3 sermon proclaims the comfort of Christ for sinners who wonder whether they have gone too far, failed too often, or come home too late. In Christ, the Father receives sinners, forgives sinners, feeds sinners, raises sinners, and brings His children home.Subscribe & Share:Spotify: Christ For YouPortuguês: Cristo Para VocêWebsite: ZionWG.orgLooking for a Lutheran Church near you?Support the preaching of God’s Word.
