That’s the title of a sermon. But it’s not one by Tim Keller, author of The Prodigal God.

This sermon was preached in 1891 by Charles Spurgeon.

The text is three words from Luke 15:20: “And kissed him.”

Some excerpts:

• When sinners come to God, he gives them a loving reception, and a hearty welcome.
• He forgives like a God.
• Their past lies hidden under the blood of atonement.
