STEP 3: SHARE

This passage in Luke 15 tells of a father who greatly loved both of his sons. What does this passage show you about the love of this father?

In light of God’s love for him, Carlos shares that he is now learning how to be a son. If you were to describe what it means to be a son or a daughter, what would you say?

Like Carlos, we can see how this parable reveals God’s love as the Heavenly Father, who willingly gave up His Son to bring you into His family. How does Jesus’ sacrifice for you change the way you think about being His beloved son or daughter?

Take some time to pray and thank God for welcoming you into His family and loving you as His child. Ask Him to give you an opportunity to share that love with someone you know this week.
