Summary
Christmas awakens our universal longing to come home, pointing to our deeper need for belonging with God. The parable of the prodigal son reveals the Father's heart toward wayward children through two sons who both misunderstand His love. The younger son learns humility through rock bottom, discovering that true repentance opens the door to restoration. The older son represents self-righteous religion, serving God with wrong motives and missing the Father's heart entirely. Whether you're far from God or struggling with entitlement, the Father's arms are open this Christmas, inviting you to come home through humility and repentance.
