[Part 2 of 2]
[God's operation according to His measure of grace is also] seen in the
return of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32). When he was a long way off
from home and before he met his father, he was prepared to go back home
to serve as a servant. But when he reached his home, his father did not ask
him to be a servant. Instead, he asked his slaves to bring out the best robe
and to put it on him. He put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet and
slaughtered the fattened calf. They ate and were merry because the son who
was dead had come to life again; he was lost but had been found. From these
verses we see again that God does not accomplish His salvation according to
a sinner's thought but according to His own thought.

Mark 2 speaks of four men who took a paralytic to the Lord Jesus. When
they were unable to bring him to the Lord because of the crowd, they
removed the roof where the Lord was and lowered the bed on which the
paralytic was lying, hoping that the Lord Jesus would heal the paralytic and
make him rise and walk. But the Lord Jesus said, "Child, your sins are
forgiven" (v. 5). The Lord Jesus not only healed him but also forgave him of
his sins. This also tells us that God works to His own satisfaction. All we
have to do is go to God and ask. It does not matter whether we have asked
enough. God always works to His own satisfaction, not to the sinner's
satisfaction.
