  • Jesus gives the parables of the prodigal son.
    Luke 15:11-32
    11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
    12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
    13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
    14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
    15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
    16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
    17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
    18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
    19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
    20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
    21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
    22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
    23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
    24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
    25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
    26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
    27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
    28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him.
    29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
    30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
    31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
    32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

      hallelujah Jesus Christ is so awesome. It amazes me that so many people have experienced Jesus Christ and prayer yet so few it seems care to share Jesus Christ with their co-workers with the environment. The only reason why I know I don't share this because I'm struggling I'm doing things I shouldn't do. But I know when I'm in prayer when I'm obedient to the lord I can't help but the desire to testify about Jesus Christ. I love being victorious and not a hypocrite I love giving life to people. We are in the valley of the shadow of death and we as Christians have the light of the world in our souls to testify to our neighbors a neighbor this is how you can see this is how you can have life and knowledge in the valley of the shadow of death.

    The father in this story represents God. The "good" son represents all those who are religious or spiritual, aiming to honour God in their speech, knowledge, pursuits and deeds. The prodigal son represents all those who wanted to go their own way and do what they wish without serving anyone. Eventually, the prodigal son returns, knowing that a life of selfish pleasures does not lead to happiness, it leads to nothing. Instead of being judged and condemned by the father, he welcomes him home and adorns him and prepares a feast for him.
    God is waiting for every single person to come Home; the righteous and the non-righteous. No matter how long it takes, God wants everyone with Him in some way or another. God loves everyone.
    Blessings.

    My favorite parable. "....but when he was yet a great way off his father saw him and had compassion and ran to him". The son didn't have to come and tap his father on the shoulder, he had been anxiously searching the horizon for the son's return. Did the son have to beg forgiveness or explain himself? No, the father ran to him at first sight, he couldn't wait to have him back in his house. So it is with heaven.

      This is the exact part of the parable that gets me. My family has dealt with the same my mother being the father my sister being the prodigal son. The thing with my mother is she always expected that my sister beg for forgiveness first that she come back and apologize for everything she did before she would accept and kept her back in her life. I'm proud to say after years of talking with my mom she made the decision to finally make the first move and text her and now we have a beautiful loving relationship with my sister and my mom with her daughter once again

      Absolutely! The Word of God is not just mere words in a book. They have true power to them. I think that's exactly what the Bible is speaking of in Hebrews 4:12 when it says
      "For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.”

    • @Dicknballz52
      @Dicknballz52 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      One thing an atheist can recognize is that if life is completely random then everything shall come to existence at some point, every thought and visage a man can imagine and ever more would come forth in time somehow. Everything you read and think is as real as yourself ultimately with such beliefs, when I didn't believe or even was agnostic and was in great darkness I would read the bible just because the words always made me feel better that somewhere out there in the great span, there is a greater truth that all this mattered for and that something far greater might have love instead of chaos for us after all.

    When someone is trying to come back, we should all rush out to embrace them and make them feel every bit as loved as the they would if they were in the actual Father's presence. They need the support, and we are only enriched spiritually by having more sheep in our fold. It's like the old saying: "The more, the merrier!" :)

      Jesus , the would be eternal tormentor of mostly nice people who won't find salvation because of greater skepticism today due to being unable to believe. Some causes are rereading the bad dogma and deeds of the bible, advance reasoning of today, advanced logic, and knowledge of science.
      Jesus didn’t talk to his imaginary dad about changing the extremely harsh penalties for those who can't believe in god but live morally. He didn't try to make it fairer or to do away with permanent hell considering the importance of biology and environment in every individual, which leaves limited free will. Only 1/3 of the world actually believes in Jesus now as the Son and have a chance for this made-up heaven stuff. Those who don't are threatened with everlasting torture or be cast into a lake of fire.
      Jesus and religion is a shakedown .. I got the matches and your are flammable.
      Slaves obey your masters! Oh yeah Jesus didn’t mean it that way, sure. Mother what have I to do with thee or family values? Many of Jesus’ teachings make common and good sense but his eternal damnation is a gargantuan flaw in Jesus’ character. A good argument could be made that Jesus is maybe the worst person to ever live if you believe the Bible he’s not better than Dahmer and Manson. Forget the thousands of inaccuracies and bad dogma in the old testament . "those who do not believe in him as the Son will have everlasting hell". The worst terrorists never took torture within a gazillionth of that gory galaxy. I repeat, thinking people of today know that the major determinants of mankind is evolution, genetics, environmental forces that limit free will or the ability any of us have to believe or not.
      The Bible was written by human beings at a time when stealing a person’s livestock was a crime punishable by death, but raping a young girl was easily remedied by following it up with a marriage proposal. If the girl married someone other than her rapist however, and was found to not be a virgin, she would be executed. There is nothing remotely moral about any of this. The Abrahamic tribes who wrote the Old Testament simply came up with a set of laws that favored those already in power, and then claimed those laws were dictated by god and that questioning them was punishable by death. Children who talk back to parents can be stoned and killed by parents or a non-virgin on her wedding night should be stoned and killed by her new non-virgin husband. OK, I don't have a problem with some of the nonsense.
      In the New Testament, you can pick and choose to find verses that sound nice, but who gets to decide which verses teach the moral lessons? When Paul says that a master should treat his slave well, why didn’t he just condemn slavery? Surely the “golden rule” would require that. When Paul says, “A woman should be quiet in church and not speak. She should learn from her husband.” is that a good moral model? When Jesus says, “If you don’t love me more than your own family, you don’t deserve heaven.” Is that the kind of god you want? Hey cut off my ear for questioning the nonsense.?
      The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobia, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.

I was blaming myself for falling away form God / Jesus for so long and then recently came back love Jesus again and was wondering if He would ever forgive me for all the sin I had done over the years. And now I know He never left me at all, EVER, I left Him and now I am found again. PRAISE GOD!!!!!

This part of the Bible tells us that God's love for all is like a love for individual. He loves us not generally, but individually. God's love is truly special.

      I'm so glad that something in this story resonates with you! It IS one of the great stories of the world, and communicates love...parental love, filial love, friendship, forgiveness, and the love God has for all his children--especially the ones who don't yet know Him.

    • @karlj4509
      @karlj4509 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Friend, it is great to hear that this message resonates with you, but like this Father, God is waiting for you to come to him and be saved. He wants you to come to him, because he knows how difficult it will be if you don't. Please do not be lost, Christianity is not a religion it is a relationship with the one true living God through what God the Son has accomplished on the cross, please accept his offer of forgiveness so that the message will truly hit home.
