FAITH CAPSULE:\u00a0<\/strong>Repentance and restoration is the mercy of God.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke 15<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repentance from the heart will bring forth restoration.
A parable is an everyday truth that has spiritual application.\u00a0It is an earthly truth with a heavenly meaning.\u00a0
Jesus spoke many times using parables.\u00a0
He gave a parable of the lost son.\u00a0
This parable connotes the mind of God concerning repentance and restoration of all from sin.\u00a0
Jesus said,\u00a0\u201cA certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, \u2018Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.\u2019 So he divided to them his livelihood. And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.\u201d (Luke 15:11-14)<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
Jesus went to the cross to shed His blood, a plan for restoration for all. In the parable, the younger son had his possessions and went far from his father.\u00a0
No one should go far from the presence of God in this wicked world. Going far is choosing a way that will always be a way of death.\u00a0
Going far from Him will lead to a wasted life.\u00a0
A wasted life will always provoke a life of \u201cwant\u201d and \u201crelegation\u201d from what God wants all to be.\u00a0
Going far from Him will expose one to every trouble of this world.\u00a0
How are you living life?\u00a0
Are you living in the fear of God?\u00a0
Have you gone far from Him like the prodigal son?\u00a0
Luke 15:17-19\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>records,\u00a0\u201cBut when he came to himself, he said, \u2018How many of my father\u2019s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0It is time to come back to yourself like the prodigal son.\u00a0
The prodigal son arose and came to his father.\u00a0
The Bible records,\u00a0\u201cBut when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And the son said to him, \u2018Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.\u2019\u201d(Luke 15:20-21)\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
Repentance from the heart will bring forth restoration.\u00a0
The son repented, and his father gave him restoration.\u00a0
God is merciful.\u00a0
Isaiah 64:4<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0testifies,\u00a0\u201cFor since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
God is waiting for you.
Repent, the restoration will become your portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
