I am doing a new series starting Sunday evening. I am using the familiar parable, the Prodigal Son as a base but I have borrowed Tim Keller's title, the Prodigal God.
Let me explain why the Prodigal God is a good ti tile.
First, God took upon Himself the shame of the son. He humbled Himself so that the son could be accepted as a son with no strings attached. This went against the culture of the day. A father would never submit himself to that humiliation but the father in the parable did and our God has also.
God as the Father was willing to be judged by the people around Him. This is a humbling of Himself. Jesus came to the cross to bear the same of our sins so that we might share in His glory.
