Summary
In the parable of the lost son, we see two beautiful pictures: one of repentance, and the other of acceptance. The prodigal son comes to the end of himself – and realizes how far he has fallen. He knows that his selfish way has led to failure and destruction. He has exhausted everything that the world has to offer and has been left empty and broken.
Episode Description
Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach.(1) The Pharisees and their scribes continually criticized Jesus because He was associating with “such sinful people” — even eating with them! The religious leaders were functioning under the false belief that there is a hierarchy of sin – dividing “acceptable” sins from those that proper Jewish society would have deemed to be “unacceptable”. They would have identified “notorious sinners” as people who led conspicuously immoral lives and/or engaged in highly questionable occupations.
