Book Synopsis
The Parable of the Prodigal Son stands among Jesus’ most moving and memorable teachings. If I were asked what Jesus' story is, I would start with working with a non-Christian; I would start with this parable. It is absolutely amazing.
Jesus offers this story in response to religious leaders who criticized Him for welcoming sinners. To reveal God’s heart for those who are lost, Jesus presents three “lost and found” parables—the lost sheep, the lost coin, and finally this story, which serves as the high point of the trio.
At its deepest insight, this parable is far more than the tale of a rebellious son. It is a vivid picture of God’s lavish grace, His willingness to forgive, and His longing to restore broken relationships. It also uncovers the self‑righteous mindset, embodied in the older brother, reminding us that God’s mercy often challenges our assumptions about who is worthy of love.
