You all know the details–a rich father had two sons. The younger asked his father for his share of the inheritance, left his father’s house, wasted his money living recklessly, and became so destitute that he found himself hungry for pig food.
This son eventually humbled himself and returned home. He knew he had sinned and hoped that his father would at least treat him like one of his hired servants.
His father did no such thing. When he saw his son in the distance, he ran to embrace him. The father ordered his servants to bring fresh clothes and shoes and prepare a meal of celebration.
Why? Because his lost son had returned home.
