I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him,
Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee. (Luke 15:18)
One of the greatest battles ever fought was being fought
out then. Everything holy and heavenly was beckoning the prodigal home. The
powers of darkness were trying to keep him from returning.
“You go back and they'll all laugh at you. What’ll they
say?” said the devil.
No doubt there was an angel hovering over him, watching
for the decision, and when he said, “I will arise,” the angel bore it on high.
“ Make another crown. Get another robe ready. There’s
another sinner coming!”
That “I will” echoed and re-echoed, and there was joy in
the presence of the angels. He is saved. His heart has got home already. The
battle with pride and sin is over.
