God's Surprising Strategies for Getting Sinners Back Home
When a wayward child wanders far from home, how does a loving parent pursue them without driving them further away? One thing that parent does is let the child know that there is an ongoing open door policy. The child knows they will always be welcomed back home. Likewise, when we wander from God, he always keeps his door open for us. But God doesn’t just passively wait for us to return. He lovingly pursues sinners in ways that make them long for home. During the season of Lent, a forty day journey to Jesus’ cross and empty tomb, we see the surprising strategies our heavenly Father uses for getting sinners back home, close to him and the loving care he offers.
