Prodigal sons or daughters need forgiveness. The good news is some do come home. While caring for pigs the prodigal in the parable recorded in Luke 15:11-32 came to himself and decided to return to his father. The story of the Prodigal Son is not glorious. He spent his father’s money to enjoy the pleasures of sin. When the good time was over, he went home beaten and broke, and was forgiven by his loving father. The sad truth is this young man was lost and his older brother was lost, too. This is a parable of concern for the lost. It would be wonderful if every prodigal son or daughter that found themself in the pig pen of sin would come to themself, and come home to God for forgiveness. The good news is that many prodigals do return home to God. Prodigals should come home now so that when they die they can be with Jesus in eternity.
