His promise of salvation is not just to middle class or upper class or certain tax bracket sinners. As I said earlier, many families are plagued by the effects of sin. And it would be natural, it'd be understandable for this young man to question, to question, given all that I've done, all that I've failed to do, how will my father respond? And yet, with whatever questions he has in his mind, he starts making his way back home. This son has sinned greatly. We do not want to minimize that. It's to assure each and every one of us if we repent and turn from our sins, we will not be rejected. You will not be turned away. Yes, you know your sin, but know the Savior who forgives from sin and who will wash and cleanse and purify makes us whiter than snow. You may have been rolling around in pig food and lesser things. You may have been in the gutter. I don't know what your story is. I don't know what you've drank or eaten or pumped through your veins. God knows. And his promise of forgiveness is still to you. His promise of salvation is not just to middle class or upper class or certain tax bracket sinners. Remember, prostitutes, sinners, tax collectors, they're sitting around. And for them, this is good news. And it's good news for you,
