Like most Jewish rabbis of His time, Jesus used parables to communicate spiritual truths. A parable is a made up story to teach us a moral or spiritual truth. In the parable of the prodigal son, Jesus teaches us about our own sin, how it is like rolling around in the mud, and how God is a compassionate father that welcomes the prodigal sons and daughters back into His family. Come join us and learn about this great and loving Father!
