Henri J.M. Nouwen Quotes

The Young Man Being Embraced By The Father Is No Longer Just One Repentant Sinner, But The Whole Of Humanity Returning To God. The Broken Body Of The Prodigal Becomes The Broken Body Of Humanity, And The Baby-like Face Of The Returning Child Becomes The Face Of All Suffering People Longing To Reenter The Lost Paradise. Thus Rembrandt's Painting Becomes More Than The Mere Portrayal Of A Moving Parable. It Becomes The Summary Of The History Of Our Salvation. The Light Surrounding Both Father And Son Now Speaks Of The Glory That Awaits The Children Of God.
