I Will Go To My Father
Luke 15:18
Intro: The young man was:
- Disrespectful – vs. 12 …give me…
- Disobedient – vs. 13 riotous living
- Disappointed – vs. 14-17 …I perish…
I. He Remembered His Father’s Goodness – vs. 17
- The Provision – bread in my Father’s house
- The Plenty – and to spare
II. He Repented of His Foolish Greed – vs. 18
- 12 – give me
- 13 – he gathered all together
- 14 – he spent all/wasted his substance
His greed was his downfall. Notice his repentance:
- I have sinned – No Excuses
- I am no more worthy – No Pretences
- Make me – No Rebellion
III. He Receive His Forgiving Grace – vs. 22-24
- the best robe
- the ring
- shoes
- fatted calf – he wanted bread, but got beef!
- began to be merry – no doubt for the first time in a long time
David said in Psalm 51 …restore unto me the joy of thy salvation.
