Grace for you today !
Beholding Jesus Is Being Restored To The Father!
“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.”
Luke 15:22-24 NKJV
The fatted calf was a special delicacy meant for a special occasion, just like we preserve a certain thing for a certain occasion such as a birthday or anniversary or Christmas or for a great celebration.
Even though the celebration began by putting on the best robe, a precious ring and a great pair of sandals , but I would say that the culmination of the celebration was by bringing in the most precious catted calf to be killed and eaten . That was the extravagant lavishing of the love by the father.
The fatted calf was to be killed one day or other but the occasion chosen for such a pompous celebration became the bone of contention from the older son’s perspective.
To him, the return of his younger brother who wasted all the time and resources through his prodigal living, was seen as a wasteful effort wasting everyone’s time.
But, to the father , the younger son was dead in trespasses and sins, now he is restored back to life (Ephesians 2:1). He was lost beyond recovery but is miraculously found now . The fatted calf was the most exquisite and priceless thing of the father that was sacrificed which resulted in the younger son, never to die again and never to be lost again.
Yes my beloved, God the Father sacrificed His Son so that we will never die but have everlasting life ; we will never be lost again but be one with God our Father forever righteous! Hallelujah 🙏
God can go out of the way, to any extent and give anything to just have you. He is interested in you and not yours . He receives you the way you are . Just come to Him as you are! Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus !
