Running the Wrong Way | Pr. Junior Vertus
Manage episode 483732799 series 3157018
The parable of the Prodigal Son illustrates our tendency to misinterpret God's loving boundaries as restrictions on our freedom. When we run from God seeking independence, we often find ourselves in spiritual bondage instead. The story shows that true transformation begins with honest self-reflection, regardless of our circumstances. God eagerly awaits our return with open arms, ready to restore us fully, while also addressing the self-righteousness that can develop in those who never physically left but remain spiritually distant.
