Prodigal Son
The Parable of the Prodigal Son is a well-known story from the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It is found in the book of Luke, chapter 15, verses 11-32. A man had two sons. The younger son asked his father for his share of the inheritance, which the father gave him. The younger son then went away to a far-off country and squandered all his money in wild living. When a famine hit the land, he found himself in desperate need and took a job feeding pigs. As the younger son was starving, he thought to himself that even the servants in his father's house had enough to eat. So, he decided to return home and ask his father to take him back as a servant. As the younger son was returning home, his father saw him from a distance and ran to him. He embraced him and kissed him. The younger son confessed his sin and asked to be taken back as a servant, but the father ordered his servants to bring the best robe, a ring, and sandals for his son. He also ordered a feast to be prepared in celebration of his son's return. The older son was angry at this and refused to go into the feast. His father came out and pleaded with him, telling him that everything he had was already his, but they needed to celebrate because his younger brother was lost and now was found. The story of the prodigal son teaches about the love and forgiveness of God, and how even when we turn away from Him, He is always waiting for us to come back.
