Walking In The Light

In the days of Jesus, the Pharisees & Scribes had devised such a legalistic system whereby one was to know GOD & enter His kingdom that it totally disfigured the character & nature of GOD. Well, Jesus came to earth to testify of the truth that men could be liberated from false religion & come into a real relationship with GOD through Himself. In response to the Pharisees’ complaints of Jesus receiving & eating with sinners, Jesus told 3 stories which revealed that the religious leaders didn't know GOD whatsoever. In the last story, Jesus spoke of a loving father that rejoiced in his wayward son coming home. The intent was to show the people that GOD didn't reject sinners, He actually loved them & takes great pleasure in their salvation. Since Father’s Day is upon us, we’re going to look at this story once again & note some attributes of The Heavenly Father. It’s my intent as a father to model these attributes of The Heavenly Father & become a heavenly father to my kids. I pray
