DAY 302
He Was Dead and Is Alive Again
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
ὅτι οὗτος ὁ υἱός μου νεκρὸς ἦν καὶ ἀνέζησεν, ἦν ἀπολωλὼς καὶ εὑρέθη
📜 THE VERSE
This son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. So let us celebrate and be glad.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
When someone I lost touch with returns, am I ready to fully embrace that joy?
📝Reflection
The father does not list again what the son did wrong. Instead he declares the return with the largest possible words — "he was dead and is alive." The restoration of a relationship is often completed not in a place of detailing the past, but in the place of simply celebrating that someone has returned now. The joy of recovering what was lost burns hotter than the calm of never having lost it at all. This story tells us not to hide that heat.
