Peace all,
Let one average father in this world be an example for this story.
This father dearly loves his children.
He wants to be with his children as they grow up and seeks to help them become successful people.
He is always there to guide help his children when they are having difficulty.
He always welcomes back his child if he runs away.
He punishes his children when they do wrong to discipline them.
He loves his children even if they don't love him.
He love his children so much, that he would give up his life to save them from a dire danger.
Now surely God is more loving than an average father.
Parents love their children so much, it's hard to understand.
Just think how incomprehensible and spectacular God's love is for us!
He is like a this father plus much more, He is like a Heavenly Father.
To Christians:
We can talk to God like a father ot a best friend.
He is not far from us, but always close by.
He always welcomes us back ungrudgingly after we run away.
He still loves us even when we were ungrateful sinners and unbelievers.
Our dire situation is our sins, and He laid down His life for us to save us through Jesus Christ.
What is your relationship with the Almighty like?
Can it be compared to ours?
