Prodigal Son Parable

Jesus tells a story about a son who asks his father for his share of the wealth. After the son wastes the money, he returns home, and his father joyfully welcomes him back.

Question 1: The father describes the younger runaway brother upon his return home as “dead but now alive,” and “lost but now found.” How do these descriptions apply to those who have rejected God but have now accepted Him?

Question 2: How has God been like this father to you?

Question 3: If you were to compare yourself to the two brothers in the parable, which one do you identify with and why?
