A Father who welcomes us with open arms
The parable of
now has a center: the father, his father moving around the two stories: that her two sons. The two children are two temptations of life and sometimes we are like the first, that every second, sometimes we combine the malice of both.
The first son, he demands ("Give me what I expect") and the father does not object, and the son runs away from home and his father, his heart strategic initiative, which allows you to walk away, and the son goes out on the fun way banal and insipid, and the father can to dispel the product of much sweat, toil, love. The father remains in the background of the story: it is weak, but it's good, it seems defeated, but moves with great dignity.
Here is the history of man, so part of human history: God does not stop man that love can not impose; God does not violate freedom, God never takes revenge. We are the ones that escape, we reject that, we who shut the door, God never will do this! God is Love and will never change.
But here's the news, here is an unpredictable place. The child loses all get to the bottom of the abyss, you realize you have all been played stupidly. What can I do? Or persist in his situation, no territories refuse, refuse to lose, and this is hell! Or, if your son wants to, can return: well, if the child does this step, if it moves up towards the house of his father ... Then something happens that is difficult for us to understand is what happens to the joy of God, whom Jesus calls "rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents."
fact, when the son comes to his father .... rimpro is not true, revenge, anger. God is not accused the offense: No, God rejoices and celebrates!
Evidently - at this point - Jesus want to say: know that God is so and I am the ultimate test of the Goodness of God
The parable is thus an invitation: If you have sinned, return! If you cheated back! If you are offended to the limit most infamous know this, that God is ready to start all over again. How much hope from this thought: He will never reject God germs!
This Gospel of Christ enables us to understand because human history is so complicated and, at first sight, so absurd is because God allows many children run away, God leaves dissipate so much because he respects the freedom of man. Yet in this maelstrom is a certainty: God, to the last mo, and there will not be easy to miss your love!
But here enters the second child. He is the son shocked the goodness of his father. It appears that this child is right, but his behavior is offensive to the father. He invents excuses, as is usually done a bit 'when all we want to justify our wickedness. In fact, even if it is not Gito fled from home, with his heart he was never at home Why not think and does not like his father. This son is rebellious as the first: this is a problem child for the father, is a thorn in the heart of the father. For this child will be more difficult to return home because his sin is hidden from the presumption.
The parable ends like this: "Son, come back, too."
