The parable of the prodigal son is the story of a young man who wanted his whole fortune and to leave and find his own way in the world. So, his father gives him everything. The young man splurges everything and soon is without anything. He decides to look for a job, and finds one in feeding pigs. The young man is in so much need to eat that he is envious of the pigs. He decides to go home and tell his father that he is not worthy to be his son and instead should be his slave. His father, meanwhile had been waiting for him the whole time. THe young man comes home, tells his father, but his father immediatly puts his best robe on the boy, gives him his ring, and kills the calf and prepares a feast for him. The boys brother, however, is not happy because he stayed with his father the whole time and yet he never got a feast.
Jesus said that the moral of the story is that there is more rejoicing over one that enters the kingdom of heaven than 1,000 who were already there. But this story goes further than just rejoicing.
It goes to show that we as sinners have run from our loving father. Instead of hating us for the rest of our lives, instead, God (our Father) welcomes us home when we come.

∙ 11y agoA farmer had two sons. The youngest son didn't want to work on the farm any more and asked his father for his share of the farm in cash and went off to Another Country and spent the money having a good time.
Finally the son spent all he money and had to work. The only job he could get was on a pig farm and he ended up eating the pig food he was so poor. The son thought he would go home and ask his father for a job because his father's workers were better off than him.
So the son went home. The father saw him coming and was very happy he had a big celebration for the return of his son.
