Luke 15:24

The father's final word is not:

• shame

• punishment

• failure

• rejection

The final word is celebration.

The son says:

I am no longer worthy.

The father says:

My son.

The son says:

Make me a servant.

The father says:

Bring the robe.

The son says:

I ruined everything.

The father says:

Let's celebrate.

The Father's interpretation becomes the true interpretation.
