The parable widely known as the story of ‘The Prodigal Son’ is better identified as ‘The Compassionate Father and His Two Sons’! In this parable the Father eagerly waits for his younger son to return home and equally loves his elder son who has been faithfully attentive to his needs. The parable points us towards the extravagant love of God as demonstrated in the grace and compassion of Jesus for the lost and hurting of the world.
