Today – Father’s Day – we look at the story of the “Prodigal Son;” better understood as “The Bereaved Father.”

“ ‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me. Everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad. This brother of yours was dead. And now he is alive again. He was lost. And now he is found.’ ”

Luke 15:31-32 (NIrV)
