Have we ever experienced being or getting lost?
Yet, the actual point of the parables is the initiative that God shows
on the lost. In the story of the parable of the prodigal son, the
Father in a rare occasion runs in order to meet his wayward son. In the
Middle East tradition, to run for someone with that kind of rank and
stature was something extraordinary. Yet the father was willing to do
something even to the point of being humbled only because of his deep
and unconditional love for his son who may receive the bad and
unfavorable comments of those who would see him on his return. More
significantly, the father restores the son to his original identity,
that is, not a slave as envisioned by the lost boy but rather a son.
This was evident in the many symbols like the ring, sandals, and
fattened calf that the father ordered with the homecoming of his lost
child.
Sounds impossible but when we think about it, wasn’t it the way by
which Jesus who is God humbled himself and became human like us in
order to show his solidarity with us and thereby show us the way to
salvation?
All of us are to a greater or lesser degree experienced to be lost with
regard to hope and meaning in life. How did God show his saving power?
What did God do in order that we may be able to realize our mistake
that we decided even with the most impure reasons decided to go back to
him. And when we did so, what were manifestations that would indicate
that God was treating us like his children again?
We are then blessed with a God who truly cares, something that we are
indeed grateful for.
