Give Grace!
Friday Contemplation: Forgiveness is complicated! Everyone wants it, but not everyone offers it (especially when others aren’t remorseful). Rembrandt’s masterpiece tells one of my favorite stories in the Bible from Luke, and vividly captures the complexities of God’s Prodigal Grace. It illustrates joy, forgiveness, relief, conversion, as well as resistance, anger and judgment. And when people see it, the focus tends to be on the radical forgiveness extended by the Father to his disaster-son. Rightfully so.
But receiving grace isn’t the only aspect of God’s Prodigal Grace. I’ll be sharing about it Sunday why it’s hard yet possible. Join me Sunday at the Hyde Park location at 9:30 or 11 a.m., online at 9:30, or on YouTube on demand. Let’s stumble toward the Light together.
