In the culture of the East, an old man did not run. It was undignified. He gathered his robes and walked with slow authority.
But this Father — this Father in Luke 15 — He runs.
That is the picture I want you to hold in your mind tonight. Not a Father who folds His arms and waits for your speech. A Father who lifts His robes and runs down the road while you are still a long way off.
That is who He is. That is who He has always been.
