The Merciful Father: God’s Heart for the Lost

Jesus reveals God the Father’s heart through the parable of the two sons. It highlights God’s mercy, compassion, and joy in restoring sinners, contrasting His relational, grace-filled approach with the Pharisees’ rigid, performance-based view of God. Ultimately, we should see God as a loving Father who pursues the lost, celebrates their return, and models how we should reflect His mercy in our lives.
