I, at the moment am trying to learn from the father. Patiently waiting. I have not left so I am not the prodigal, nor am I bitter about those who have left and come back so I am not the brother. I am somewhere in the middle, though I know the father is portraying Christ- I am like Him in this story, waiting for the son and watching everyday. When he does come back I hope I can welcome him with open loving, ready arms. Just like the father did. I am trusting that God will bring Him back home when the time is right.

I was away from my faith when I was in my teens until my early thirties and I guess that I was the Prodigal Son, since then I have been guilty of being the older brother at times, a very bad habit that I try not to indulge in too often.

it rather is a narrative which represents persons who finally end up backslidden and stroll some distance from God to learn from the sin it is on the earth for a season. the father represents the Lord. The elder son represents all christians who stay elementary to God and by no potential backslide or depart him or fail to do their section to serve him and the youthful son represents people who finally end up rebellious against God and depart him to circulate wallow in sin and luxuriate in the pleasures of this international although who finally comprehend that they are wallowing around in the plenty and mire of a pig pen. God makes it achievable for them to get so some distance down in existence that they are ingesting hog food and then they without notice have an comprehend-how of that they could be going lower back to God besides the undeniable fact that he will not acquire him as an entire fledged son anymore and easily permit him in as a servant in his abode. So he is going abode to marvelous the Lord waiting with open hands and instead of being rejected and sent to be a servant, he's approved plenty purely so the Lord has a ceremonial dinner thrown in his honor. The elder son turns into green with envy pondering he has remained elementary to the Lord all this time and in no way failed him although the Lord tells the elementary older son that it rather is sufficient because of fact it rather is something to truly have fun over whilst a lost son returns abode. it rather is consequently that the angels in heaven have fun whilst even one lost sinner repents and turns lower back to the Lord.

I think I'm the prodigal son, Why?
when i was ten i ran from Christ. My family stop going to church and stop believing in God. I don't really remember why but it happen. After battling drugs, alcohol, and depression I found god. I was at the lowest point in my life. it was pray or kill myself. I have never left god again, and right now I'm helping teenagers with their problems like mine.

Definitely the older brother. Sometimes I struggle with dealing with the fact that God can and will restore, redeem, and reconcile and then reward. Sometimes i do feel like Hey God, I've been doing right for you all my life and this person just started so how come they...blah blah blah but then i catch myself. It was more when i was younger as well, now I'm more of an adult Christian (off that similac and on to the red meat!) and I rejoice along with God when I see someone come home to Christ! Good question by the way. Thanks for making me think!

at different points in my life I have been both, the son and the brother.
i guess that is what makes it such a wonderful story. and something for all of us to consider..... no matter how much we sin or how far we run away from our god, he will always take us back. there is nothing that we can do that he won't forgive us for. the truly hard part is us forgiving ourselves.
