Resolved Session 2: John MacArthur
In an example of exactly what it means to bridge the cultural gap,
MacArthur began the first morning of the Resolved conference with a story of
God's Glory in the Redemption of Sinners: The Prodigal Son. The prodigal son is
a story with which we are all familiar, but after the sermon I have realized
that MacArthur's statement, "We have missed something in this story," is
certainly true for me (The prodigal son was considered "the greatest short story
ever written" by both Charles Dickens and Ralph Waldo Emerson. What was I
missing?). He argued that the prodigal son is really a story of the way in which
God's glory is most known.
