Insights you probably missed...
Most of us are familiar with the parable of the prodigal son. It’s the story of us… when we came to our senses and came back to the Father in repentance, right? It’s a story about the lost becoming saved. The wretched being forgiven. It is all of this, of course.
That’s the way we’ve been taught this timeless parable of our Lord in Sunday school, and then later in Church by most pastors.

Memorable Quotes:
“The father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.”
- Luke [15:22]-24
