Luke 15:11-20
When The Father Runs

Brother Warren Tryon preaches about the prodigal son. He points out how "when the father ran" to his son; He was preventing him from being shamed (as was the custom in that day when some one left home the way the prodigal son had done). God does not allow us to be shamed or condemned in Christ Jesus. But instead He welcomes; He forgives; and He restores.
