The father loved his son so much that he emptied himself of any pride, any honor and dignity. Do you want to know how eager God is to receive a sinner? He will run through the dirt and bear the shame, he will embrace the sinner with all his strength and plant kisses all over the sinner’s cheek. This is a gesture of acceptance, love, forgiveness, restoration, reconciliation. And all of that even before the son says one word.
