One of Jesus’ most memorable stories is that of the ‘Prodigal Son’ who took his inheritance, left his family, travelled far away, squandered all his money and then fell into poverty and dire straits.
Eventually, the son struggled home and begged his father’s forgiveness which the father gracefully gave before ordering a feast to be prepared to welcome his son’s return.
When the father’s eldest son heard of his younger brother’s return and warm welcome he became angry however his parent responded by saying, “But you are also my son and everything I have belongs to you. Do you not see? This brother of yours was dead and is now alive. He was lost but now has been rescued!”
The great power of forgiveness.
