Luke 15:11-24The limitations of the

English language at times diminish our understand-ing of scriptural concepts. For instance, there is only one word for love in Eng-lish, but the New Testa-ment uses two diff erent Greek words. One of them, phileo, refers to brotherly concern and aff ection, but the more powerful term agape signi�ies a sacri�icial commitment to another’s satisfaction, security, and development. This is the kind of love that God has for us—and that the Holy Spirit produces in and through believers.

Perhaps the best way to understand agape is to see what it looks like. In His parable of the prodigal son, Jesus describes a father’s sacri�icial love for his wayward son. When the young man demanded an early inheritance, the father didn’t deny his request, though he knew it would lead only to bitterness. So despite personal and �inancial sacri�ice, he gave the son his share. Then the father waited patiently while the prodigal learned a dif�icult lesson.

No doubt that was a trying time for the father because a good dad wants to protect his children from mistakes and the resulting consequences. But a wise man also knows that some hard truths must be learned through painful experi-ence. At times the best thing we can do is trust the Lord to reach de�iant hearts.

But agape love doesn’t just let go; it also forgives and re-stores. When the prodigal son returned home humbled and contrite, his father reached out to receive him and restore him to the family—just our heavenly Father does for us.

Tommy Elvin Wadlington, born May 4, 1956, passed away at home on Febru-ary 11, 2018 after his battle with cancer. He was born in Marshall, Texas to Genevieve Wicker Baize and Tommy El-vin Wadlington, Sr.

He is survived by his wife of 18 years, Sherry; along with his mother, Genevieve Wicker Baize and much-loved aunt, Lynda Starkey and uncle, Wayne Wicker. He is also survived by children Amanda, Trey, Hope and Tomi’jo; and grandsons Hunter Chambliss and Cody Wayne McKaskle; also siblings, Sheila Starnes and Chris Wadling-ton of Longview,TX, and Tommie Lynn Chassin of Elkhart, TX, along with numerous brothers and sisters in-law. Nieces left were Haley, Lilie, Hannah, and Lindsey, as were nephews Logan, Jace, Josh, Dustin, Brandon, Jordan Starnes and Brian Oney. Others with fond memories are cousins Stanley Starkey who Tommy loved as a brother and Sheryl Starkey who he loved like a sister; and other cousins Gill Wicker, Devita and Nannette.

Everyone loved Thomas, and he will always be remembered by all. Rest in peace. Per his request, there will be no services. He wanted to be remembered as he was in your memories.
