“‘His father saw him.’ He didn’t see his father, coming home. His father saw him,” Rev. Dr. Isaac Holt, Jr. highlights a powerful distinction tucked inside the familiar story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:20). Whether we’ve been the son who left and was received back or the one who stayed and didn’t understand his father’s grace toward the other, we all can say that the Father is good. We believe God with you that God is about to speak a word that is especially for you.
