K Karpen: "Feeding the Hand that Bites"
•
St. Paul & St. Andrew
Friends,
Today's text is the famous story from Luke 15, the 'parable of the prodigal parent'.
We usually call this parable the 'prodigal son', but I like to focus on the father's prodigality: extravagantly generous, he shows excessive liberality to both his children. Prodigal, indeed.
This morning, let's join together to praise our prodigal parent, who bathes us in the extravagant generosity of divine grace.
Prodigally yours,
K
