Luke 15:20

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Luke 15:20. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him,

Perhaps, before he saw his father: "his father saw him,"

Luke 15:20. And had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

Matthew Henry’s comment on this verse is excellent: "’His father saw him.’ Here were eyes of mercy. ‘And had compassion.’ Here were bowels of mercy. ‘And ran.’ Here were feet of mercy. ‘And fell on his neck.’ Here were arms of mercy. ‘And kissed him.’ Here were lips of mercy." It was all mercy from first to last.
