Luke 15:11-32, "Prodigal Sons; Prodigal God"

A man's younger son demands his share of the inheritance, leaves home, and squanders it on reckless living until he is destitute and reduced to feeding pigs. Hungry and ashamed, he decides to return home and ask his father to take him back as a servant. But his father sees him from a distance, runs to embrace him, and restores him fully as a son, throwing a feast in his honor. The older son, who stayed and worked faithfully, refuses to join, angry that his wayward brother is welcomed back so easily. The father gently reminds him that everything he has is still his, urging him to share in the joy. Are you lost far from home, or lost while staying put?
