The gospel is as much about the Father as it is the Son. Jesus did not come to earth to convince a begrudging Father to accept us; He partnered with a loving Father to save us (John 3:16). The Father planned our salvation, the Son accomplished it, and the Holy Spirit applies it.
The resounding message of the gospel is this: “Come home.” What is our heart toward the lost when they come home through Christ? To resent it when the lost are found is to have a heart like Satan. To rejoice when the lost are found is to have a heart like God.
Take Home Message: The Father longs for you to come home.
