Prodigal Son or Compassionate Father

I was reading Luke 15 today in the New English Translation (NET) Bible.

Something struck me in the heading of two sections:
15:11-The Parable of the Compassionate Father

What?? I have never seen that one before. Well, I had--in all the other versions, it is usually called "The Parable of the Prodigal Son"

I think I like "Compassionate Father" more, because although the story seems to be about the son, it really is about the father. The punchline of the story and the hope it gives us has much less to do with the fact that we reject our Father, as the prodigal son did--but that our Father is compassionate towards us when we come back home. The Father could have, rightly so, told his son to get out of his sight or could have just made him a common servant, but he didn't. He welcomed him back with open arms and prepared a feast to celebrate. It is really the story of a compassionate father, not of a prodigal son...
