The story of the Prodigal Son is a well-known example of forgiveness, and it's a reminder that repentence is not about earning forgiveness but about returning home to God whose embrace restores us to belonging. God is always looking for us, waiting for us to come home. His love is never-ending.
Pastor Sue also touches on the older brother's jealousy ... and how we need not follow his example as judge and jury, but to follow God's example to treat people like family.
