And perhaps even more than those two, are we not without Christ, without Christ we are lost, without Christ in our sins, are we not very much like the rebellious son, rebels against God, defiantly shaking our fist at him with our sin, and the wages of that sin is death. We merit death in our sin. You think the punishment of the son is harsh? Do not forget the punishment for sin, death, eternally. That means forever. And this is just and right before the holy, holy, holy Lord God.

But could it possibly be that outside of the conversation with our walkie talkie, we're not pressing the button? We're hearing, but we're not responding. Or if we're responding, we're holding that button too long because all we're saying to God is what we want instead of letting go the button and hearing him. You see, a good conversation develops a relationship.
