There are many verses of Scripture that discuss family returning home. And there are many about the whole House of Israel returning home when Christ returns. But probably the best known story is from Jesus' parable in the Gospel of Luke.
This is the story Jesus Christ told in Luke 15, commonly known as the parable of the prodigal son. It recounts a son's departure from his father's home, the lessons he learns, and his return, wiser for the experience. It is also the story of a family's journey to reconciliation.
One of the many lessons learned from this parable is about each of us. God the Father stands waiting for the time when each of His children will at last realize the need for a lasting and satisfying relationship with Him.
In the Old Testament, God frequently sent His prophets to reconcile the family by turning each individuals heart correctly. Consider this verse:
Malachi 4:6New International Version (NIV)
6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction."
When reading the Parable of the Lost Son in Luke 15 and combining the verse from Malachi, it will help the reader to understand God's deep desire to bring reconciliation within His creation - despite the efforts of Satan and his demons to destroy each of us. Together, these form a promise that you can take to His throne of grace and claim in full faith. When hearts turn to God, they will also return to those human relationships that have been broken through the years. You can count on it.
