Sermon
The gospel reading from Luke begins this way:
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, "This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them." So Jesus told them this parable: "There was a man who had two sons.”
This story is all too familiar. We know it as the “Prodigal Son.” But I’m not so sure that this story is so much about the son, as about the father.
