Jesus often used parables in His teaching – using an everyday illustration to describe a spiritual truth. In this parable, Jesus described a man with two sons – one demanded and squandered his inheritance, the other faithfully served his father. When the prodigal son returned, the father and the other son had very different reactions. As we study this, we are going to attempt to identify the MAIN point. Once we do that, we will see how we can apply this in our lives.
