In this sermon The Kiss of A Father, A we read the story in our text, we see it can only be comprehended with experience. Outside of experience, all you have is a limited amount of understanding as to what is being said about this young man and his Father. Some of you may have never experienced that kind of love from your Father. Some of you may long for your Father to just reach out and grab hold of you.  For some, your Father may not be with you today. But Jesus is here. He is a Father to the Fatherless. He is a friend to the friendless. Jesus does have compassion for you Jesus will kiss you with a kiss of acceptance and love! He loves you with great love.
