The Prodigal Son

In this Bible story from Luke 15:11-24, we learn about the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Jesus told a story about two brothers and their Father, who was a land owner. The Older Brother worked hard while the younger brother was bored and wanted adventure. The Younger Brother asked his Father for his inheritance and left his Father’s home. He traveled around and lived a wild life until he ran out of money. He got a job feeding pigs, but he barely had enough to live. Soon, he decided to return to his Father’s home to ask for forgiveness. He hoped his Father would let him return as a servant. When he returned, his Father ran to greet him and welcomed him home. Just as the Father in this story gave his son mercy and grace, God gives us mercy and grace through Jesus.
