Luke 15:21

To be called thy son. He omits make me a servant. The slavish spirit vanishes in the clasp of the father's arms. Bengel suggest that the father would not suffer him to utter the news. I once heard Norman McLeod say in a sermon, "Before the prodigal son reached his home he thought over what he should do to merit restoration. He would be a hired servant. But when his father came out and met him, and put his arms round him, and the poor boy was beginning to say this and that, he just shut his mouth, and said, 'I take you to my heart, and that' enough.
