THE FATHER-HEART OF GOD (LUKE 15:11-24)

In the Story of the Prodigal, the father represents God. And while there are no perfect human fathers, God is our perfect Heavenly Father, and as such, He is the ideal role model of a Father. As we study this story, it reveals several characteristics of the Father-heart of God that ought also be reflected in the heart of every father, as they grow spiritually, to be come more and more like Him.
