Gary and Jocelyn talk about homecoming events both in the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament, they look at the story of Naomi as found in the short book of Ruth. 

Naomi had ventured into Moab with her husband and sons during a famine in Israel. Sadly, she lost all of them. She returned home with her daughter-in-law Ruth and God blessed them both in a way you could never imagine.

In the New Testament, we discover the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15. This young man had gotten way ahead of himself and suffered great consequences. Yet the father welcomed him home with open arms. This, of course, is a picture of God the Father's grace to those of us who have gone astray.
