The Father's Kiss

gospel of Luke chapter 15 and verse 20: While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.

Spurgeon had 7 points in a sermon on this verse! The kiss displays:
1. Much love
2. Much forgiveness
3. full restoration
4. exceeding joy
5. overflowing comfort
6. strong assurance
7. intimate communion with his beloved son
