How does God demonstrate His mercy in the story of the prodigal son?

Answered in 1 source

God's mercy is shown through the father's readiness to forgive and restore the prodigal son.

The father's actions in the parable exemplify God's immense mercy. When the son returns, despite his failures and shame, the father runs to him and embraces him, signaling that he is welcomed back home without conditions. This mirrors how God extends mercy to sinners, offering forgiveness and restoration to all who repent. The father's joy at the son's return illustrates the celebration in heaven over one sinner who repents, affirming that God's mercy is greater than our sins.
