Sample Book Insights:
#1 The younger son went off and spent all his inheritance. Then a famine occurred, and he was forced to find a job to support himself. When he returned home, he found his father had sacrificed the grain-fed calf because his son was dead, but he had come back to life.
#2 The parable of the Prodigal Son is about a sinner repenting and God forgiving him, which is what many of Luke’s readers believed it to be. But the original meaning of the parable was not about sinners repenting and God forgiving them, but about finding the lost and reclaiming children.
#3 The parable of the Prodigal Son is often used to convey the message of wasted resources, but it can also be understood as the story of the Beloved Son, who left the paradise of his heavenly father to go and live in the world of sin.
#4 The allegorical connection between the parable and Christianity is that the father is God the Father, and the elder brother is Jesus, the prodigal who repents of his sin and is welcomed back by the gracious God.
