How would you react to a son or daughter asking for their inheritance early? In the 1st century biblical times that would have been similar to asking your father to die, and give you what they “owed” you now. In Luke 15 Jesus teaches three parables all focused on the theme of the heavenly Father’s love and joy for lost sinners repenting. In the third parable, Luke 15:11-31, the second son in the story does exactly that. He asked for his Father to give him his share of the inheritance now rather than waiting until he passed away. The Father in the parable agrees to this request, and the second son takes the money and squanders it on foolish living. When the money is gone, he finally comes to his senses, and returns to his father with a repentant heart and attitude. The Father’s response to him is far better than what he could have ever dreamt or expected.
