"Prodigal Son"(Luke 15:11-32)

Luke 15:11-32


The story of the prodigal son is a good story which shows our relationship with our Father God.

The younger son damages his relationship with his father when he asks for his portion. Because the younger son believes that he is entitled to his inheritance, he does not see the grace that his father has given him. The son is arrogant in that he believes that what the father has given him is actually his because he deserves it. Like us, we believe that the successes in life we have is due to our efforts and not the grace of God.

The younger son also leaves his father because he believes that he can do things on his own and does not need his father or his father's rules. God is our creator and he loves us more than all of his other creations. When we separate ourselves from God, we suffer. The younger son suffered because of his separation.

And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them.
Luke 15:12 ESV

The older son thinks that the younger son had a fun life, and that the younger son's life was easy. He did not think that the younger son had suffered.

But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’
Luke 15:30 ESV

As soon as we leave our Father God, we start to suffer. It is not after we have fun that we suffer, but our suffering and grievances are more immediate. The son may not have acknowledged 

Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord.
Jeremiah 17:5 ESV

Once we become children of God, we cannot live without our God. The kingdom if God is not a certain place. It is in you? Where is Hell? It is where God is not. We can experience Hell wherever we are.

The younger son experiences suffering and comes into a time of famine. He tries to fix the problem by being hired. The younger son becomes even more miserable. The son cannot fix his problems. This can only be solved by the father. Eventually, he returns to his father. Like us, we cannot fix the problems of sin, this is something that only God can do. 

The younger son regretted his decisions but repentance without action is meaningless. We need to change our behavior or we cannot really repent. It is not enough to express regret.

The prodigal son returns and is completely changed except for one thing which is his identity.

And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.
Luke 15:20 ESV

The father was waiting for his son. By waiting, he was looking for his son to return, and when his son returns, the father runs out to his son. The son makes a choice to return and puts that choice into action. God will run to us if we would only return to Him,

Jesus tells us that we must love our Father God. In fact, this is the first and greatest commandment. If we can do this, we can have a right relationship with God.

And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.
Matthew 22:37‭-‬38 ESV

An atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that
All may go in.

The purchase of blood,
To every believer

Who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus
A pardon receives.

And greater will be
Our wonder, our rapture,
When Jesus we see.

"Kingdom Citizen"(Luke 12:22-34)

 Luke 12:22-34

 

Among Christians, the following verse provides much comfort and yet many misunderstand.

 

Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!

Luke 12:24 ESV

 

God will take care of us, but we still need to try our best. Even ravens will fly around looking for food. They do not just sit waiting for food to drop into their beaks. Animals still need to fulfil their purpose if they are to be fed, and people are no different. Christians still need to do something to be sustained. The first thing that we need to do is to do everything in faith. God created us with His image in us. He loves us more than any of his other creations. We need to trust God while we work and live in this world

 

But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!

Luke 12:28 ESV

 

The second thing we need to do is to love our neighbors. Jesus tells us to sell our belongings and give to others. If we really understood and admitted that everything comes from God, we would not worry when we give away our possessions and wealth. Many people see that it is their efforts that create their wealth and do not give credit to God. Christians need to understand that God provided everything to them.

 

Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

Luke 12:33 ESV

 

As believers, we are already loved and do not need to work to be loved. As believers, we live for God because we believe that God has given us everything already. We show our love through obedience.

 

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Philippians 2:12-13 ESV

 

All religions mention some sort of life after death. Some Christians concentrate only on the finite physical world and do not think of their eternal life. They carefully plan and work at their life's plan and ignore eternal life. Yet, the turning point in our lives when we believe and have faith in Jesus Christ. If Christ is in us, we will see the world as Christ sees it and start to understand why we need to focus on eternal life.

 

Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.

Luke 12:31 ESV

 

To avoid worrying we need to live our lives as people who trust God, love God and love our neighbors through our deeds.
