Video - The Prodigal Son: A Tale of Redemption

The Parable of the Prodigal Son: In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 15, verses 11 to 32, Jesus tells the Parable of the Prodigal Son. A man had two sons. The younger one said to his father, "Father, give me my share of the estate." So he divided his property between them. Not long after, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country, and squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, a severe famine hit the country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. When he came to his senses, he said, "How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants." So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, threw his arms around him, and kissed him. The son said to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son." But the father said to his servants, "Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found." So they began to celebrate. Liked the video? Follow Divinology TV for more teachings of Jesus.
