In the story of the prodigal son , the son was looking after swine and ate with them Please note he was a Jew , and for a Jew this was unclean . The boy did not just repent , he got up and went home to the father and aid that he had sinned before god and man and was not worthy to be his son.
Yes that is the way fathers tend to react about their children.yes that is the way some children go bad.Yes some people just can't forgive and forget.I hope that the feast and the warm home-coming is the only perks the prodigal son gets. He should be taught how to do an honest days work.
Secure Unharmed I recall from some long lost bit of instruction that the origins of the phrase "safe and sound", described a sea vessel that had weathered a storm and was safely in port, or calmer waters, and sound in that it had suffered no damage in ancient times. The phrase occurs in the New Testament describing the way the Prodigal Son's father received the Prodigal back to the family: the celebration was said to have occurred because the father had received the son back "safe and sound". This would have been the translation of the Greek text by the King James translators of 1611
'Thoughtful consideration'. The parable is offered up as a 'thought experiment', expecting people to carefully consider the 'true weight' of each fact presented and the proper interpretation of it.Another Answer:For this reader of the parable, the overall tone seems to be the Father's love and compassion for a wayward son. The son wanted the lust of this world demanding his inheritance now only to flaunt it and end up with nothing. He returns to his father and begs forgiveness (repents) and the father rejoices that his lost child has returned home. His other son, who always respected and obeyed his father was upset at all this attention given to his lustful brother but the father compassionately explains that all he has is his and that he is always with the father. However, he should rejoice that his once lost brother has found his way home.This was Jesus' way of explaing how our Heavenly Father patiently puts up with His children (all of us) and their selfish, lost ways. He awaits our return to Him as all in Heaven rejoice at the saving of a lost soul.
The parable of the Prodigal Son can be found in the Gospel of Luke chapter 15. The parable is one of three Jesus told in reply to the Pharisees and scribes when they complained saying ........"This Man receives sinners and eats with them." Luke 15:2.

The attitude of the scribes and Pharisees in Jesus' day was like the attitude of the oldest son in the parable. The explanation today is the same
The person in question is your son. Think about it this way: Who is "your father's son"? It's you, because you have no brothers or sisters. So, you just replace "your father's son" with "you", and the riddle now reads: "...that man's father is you." Simple.

The father in the Parable of the Prodigal Son is non other than God. The young son represents a sinner who has left God's care and decided a sinful life was more fun.
