The story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15 doesn’t just reveal the wandering heart of humanity—it magnifies the extravagant grace of the Father.
Last week, we looked at the younger son’s rebellion and the way all forms of wandering—whether open rejection of God or subtle resistance to His call—leave us in a place of spiritual famine. But the parable doesn’t stop there.
This week, we focus on the Father’s response: the run, the robe, the ring, and the feast. Each one reveals God’s overwhelming grace, restoring us to full sonship, empowering us with His authority, and celebrating our return with joy beyond measure.
At the same time, Jesus shows us the heart of the older brother—resentful, legalistic, and blind to the Father’s goodness. His reaction warns us of what happens when religion replaces relationship and when we fail to rejoice in the salvation of the lost.
📖 Scripture: Luke 15:20–32
