The word prodigal mean, God is forgiving sinners who repent. The story of the prodigal son was very interesting,it was one of the parable of Jesus Christ in the Bible. Jesus told us that there was a man who had two sons, The younger one said to his father that he should share of its estate so the father divided his property between them. Then the younger son got all his belongs and went far away to another country and sell all the estate that belongs to him.
The land the younger son went to there was a great famine in that land and he began to be in need. He had no choice then he went and hired himself out to a citizen of the country where he started feeding pigs. It was very difficult for him to take is breakfast, lunch and dinner. But no one gave him anything.
One day he came to his senses and was thinking of his family care and love toward him and said, if the father hired men who has enough food to spare and here, I'm starving to death. He taught and said he will set out and go back to his father and tell him that he had sin,against God and heaven. And said, I'm no longer worthy to be called your son, he said make me like one of your hired men, so he got up and went to his father, But while he was still a long way off his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him, he ran to his son threw his arms around him and kissed him.
The son said to his father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I'm bored longer worthy to be called your son. But the father said to his hired men, come!!! Quickly bring the best rope and put it on him,put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let have a feast and celebrate, for his son of mine was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found so they began to celebrate. LUKE 15:11-32.
The lesson all Christians should learn from this story is that
1.God always rejoice when sinner turn back from their sin.
2.The deep love of the father always forgives.
3.The self righteousness and dependence on human strength in life are USELESS .
4.All of us have flesh, which is the reason for abstinate behaviour.
5.The is a rebel living in every one of us.
