“It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.”
Luke 15:32 KJV
Jesus explained the parable of the prodigal son, saying, “It’s only right to rejoice and celebrate like this, because your brother was once dead and gone, but now he is alive and back with us again. He was lost, but now he is found!’ While the younger brother pursued self-discovery, the older brother believed in moral conformity, earning favour from his father. Both needed the revelation of grace. In all the three parables Jesus told here, Jesus reveals how the Trinity desires to bring people back through the Son, by the Spirit, to the Father. The Son came as a Shepherd, seeking and sacrificing to find the lost sinner. The Spirit seeks the lost and the Father welcomes the returning sinner back to His house. It is the work of the Trinity to bring us back to God. Amen!
