God’s tender mercy! (Matthew Henry)
神温柔的怜悯！(马太亨利)
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him!” Luke 15:20
“相离还远，他父亲看见，就动了慈心，跑去抱着他的颈项，连连与他亲嘴。”路加福音15:20
This parable is chiefly designed to set forth the grace and mercy of God to poor sinners who repent and return to Him, and His readiness to forgive them.
这个比喻主要是为了显明神对那些悔改归向祂的可怜罪人的恩典与怜悯，以及祂乐意饶恕他们。
