The parable of the prodigal son is not primarily about a rebellious child. It is about the Father, and through Him, a portrait of who God is and how He relates to us. The Father's love is tough enough to release, tender enough to receive, and wide enough to pursue even those standing outside in bitterness. True repentance is not mere remorse, regret, or reform. It is a change of mind that leads to a change of will, which leads to a change of action.
