I heard a local preacher who I generally like this morning on his regular advertisement-length mini-sermon. He was talking about the parable of the prodigal son. He said something like “this story talks about our present day relationship with God, but I think it is also a great image of what will come in the next life.”
What a shame. Yes, the Gospel is about our eternity in Heaven, but it is so much more than that. A lot of Christians get caught up in that future hope that they overlook the power of the Gospel in our lives as we live them today. This is a message that Christians need to be constantly reminded of, and it is a more powerful evangelistic message for a post-modern age.
