When it feels like the world has wandered far away from what you recognize, remember. Jesus tells a story of a universe that is not ordered for retribution, but for love. When you feel lost, don’t let go of that wild mercy.

The Wideness of God’s Mercy
The story of the Prodigal son is a story about how God treats all of us, about how God receives and accepts us all. There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, as the old hymn says. God does not behave as we would expect God to behave. God does not allow some idea of justice to get in the way of mercy. God does not allow so-called righteousness to get in the way of love. God asks you to be an ambassador for Love.
