The Parable of the Prodigal Son is a well-known story from the Bible, found in Luke 15:11-32. It tells the story of a younger son who asks his father for his share of the inheritance and then squanders it all on wild living. When he comes to his senses and realises his dire situation, he returns home and asks his father for forgiveness. Seeing him from a distance, the father runs to him and welcomes him back with open arms, despite his son’s mistakes. The elder brother, who had stayed home and worked for his father all along, becomes angry and resentful at his father’s forgiveness of the younger son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This parable illustrates the themes of repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation. It shows the power of a loving and forgiving father and the contrast between the elder brother’s resentment and the father’s joy at the return of his son. It can be related to many real-life scenarios. For example, when a child goes astray, despite the parent’s hard work, and later returns to the family, the parents happily forgive and accept the child. It’s also relatable when someone realises their mistakes, asks for forgiveness and reconciles with their loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
