Like a bird wandering from its nest, so is one who wanders from home.

Proverbs 27:8 CEB

In Luke's gospel Ch15 Jesus shares several stories of wandering off, of being lost, of being searched for, being found, and being welcomed home. 

The gospel, the good news of God's redemptive story, is not one of rejection, of closed doors, of "not good enough" or "why didn't you", or "what were you thinking wandering off from your place of belonging?"

The gospel is full of grace. 

Come as you are. 

If you've wandered off, head back.

The reality is that we all have wandered off in some way. 

Jesus stories talk of seeking the lost, celebrating the found, and welcoming the one who has wandered off. 

That's grace.

Supernatural grace.
