The Prodigal Father

Here's an interesting thought provoking spin on one of Jesus' most well-known parables, brought to us by Nadia Bolz Weber.

What does prodigal mean? Wastefully extravagant.
Nadia suggests we regard our Father God in this way.

Our relationship to God is not determined by being nice or good.
Our relationship to God is determined by the wastefully extravagant love of God.

"All that is mine is yours"

Now that's good news!
