Why do we wander away from God in the first place? For the same reasons the Prodigal Son in Jesus' most famous parable did. We are drawn away by the world. We aren't completely surrendered to God. We have failed to move forward in our faith. But like that well-loved parable, our story can also have a triumphant conclusion, marked by repentance, reconciliation, and rejoicing. In The God of the Second Chance, Greg Laurie writes, "During his ministry on earth, Jesus was referred to as 'the friend of sinners'...Jesus was, and still is, the best friend sinners have ever had. He extends a hand of friendship to us right now and, if we will notice, that hand bears a wound in it--a wound he received when he went to the cross to demonstrate his incredible love for us. You can take hold of his hand today."
