COMING HOME
Remember the story that Jesus told about the son who left home?
Everything had gone wrong for him, and he decided to go back home and say he was sorry. It was a long journey and took many days.
His father had been very sad and had been hoping his son would come back.
The young man was still a long way from home when his father saw him coming and ran to meet him. The father put his arms around his son and kissed him.
The son started to say he was sorry…
Do you think the father forgave his son?
Read today’s Bible verses to find out what the father said.
What did the father give his son? There were three things:
1
2
3
Was that what you expected to happen?
Do you think that is a good end to the story?
Most of the time, Jesus did not explain what his stories meant. He let the people who heard the stories think about them and figure them out for themselves. So, having heard this story, what do you think it means?
Pray. What good times do you remember? Thank Jesus for those times—and for being with you all the time.
