Luke 15 LUK 15
It is God's right and privilege to come amidst sin and sinners, to come near to sinners. This may not suit a moral man, but it suits God because He and He only can deliver out of sin. The picture of the prodigal in Luke 15 is drawn to show that nothing save death can put the sinner beyond the reach of grace.
We see the prodigal doing his own will, and this is the secret of all sin: And notice, whether we are living in vice or not, we all at some time or another have turned our back on God. This is our history as men.
Parents understand how the prodigal's father felt. Our child sins against us and we feel it. Yet we sin against God and do not feel it, nor do we care about the fact that if we do not feel it, God does.
Any person who lives beyond his means looks rich for a time. And the sinner wasting his soul seems happy, but not for long, for liberty of will is just slavery to the devil, and the devil is a hard taskmaster.
“No man gave unto him." There is no giving in the far country, not even of "husks." Satan sells all, and dearly. Our souls are the price. Satan sells everything.
Would you find a giver? Then you must come to God. Necessity finds God out.
