Scripture Reading Luke 15:11-19
Text Verses Lk. 15:13,17
Rev. Lummie Hearn
Where: Saint Stephen CME Church
Date: October 11, 1998 (Revised 8~/9~/99).*The
Prodigal*
*Son Story or*
*Lost Son*
This story that Jesus tells here is one of the most tenderest stories that he told all the
while he was here on earth.
It shows us how loving the Lord God is and how we
(man) can be so ungrateful and so down right mean.
It also shows how man can not
admit to being save, yet at the same time will not admit to being lost.
The brother
who took his father’s wealth and went into a distance country and spent it was lost.
He sinned not when he got into the country and begin to spend his money on wild
living, but the moment that he crossed over the threshold at his father’s house he
had sinned.
When we turn away from God the moment we turn we have sinned
against the Master.
Then that son, the one that stayed at home was just as sinful as
was the brother that left.
Look at his heart.
Look at the malice that he had against
his brother upon the return of him when the father put together a feast because of
his return.A’nt that just like some of us in the world today.
We expect to receive a
better reward just because we have been here all the time.
Some folk think they have
a lock up on heaven, because they have been around for a while.
It matters not
when one come back to God, but what matters is that you return before it’s to late.
Rev. Lummie Hearn.Luke 15:11-19
11 Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons.
12 The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.'
So he divided his property between them.
13 "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a
distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.
14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole coun-try,
and he began to be in need.
15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to
his fields to feed pigs.
16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no
one gave him anything.
17 "When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men
have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!
18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned
against heaven and against you.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired
men.'
(NIV)
If you please let us look at verses 13 and 17 of these passages of scripture.
From
these two verses I would like to talk for just a few minutes today about a subject
matter;
*It’s Good To Be Back In Daddy’s House*
As one read the fifteenth chapter of the Gospel according to Saint Luke he or she
would find that this particular chapter in it’s completeness gives us an unconditional
picture of the love that God has for His people.
There is no other book nor letter in
the bible that show such beloveness as do this chapter here in St. Luke fifteen.
Look if you will at what is stated here in this particular chapter.
Chapter fifteen of
Saint Luke.
The whole bases of the chapter is telling or talking to us about those, or that which
is lost.
There are three destines illustrations so stated here.
#1. *The lost are of great valve to God. *In this chapter where it talks about the.shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine sheep that he has in the sheepfold and sets
out to look for the one that is lost.
It would seem to us (natural beings) that why
search for just one when you already have ninety-nine safe in the barn.
But to the
shepherd every one of the sheep are important to him.
That is why when one of
them is lost he searches until it is found.
The love of God is such that he seeks each one of us who are lost and He rejoices
when one is found that had been lost.
Jesus was accused of spending time with the sinners, but it was because he wanted
them not to be lost, but to be saved.
He wanted to reach them that the mainstream
of society at that time, said that there was no hope for them.
But Jesus’s purpose
was to share the gospel of the kingdom of God with them.
*#2.**
God takes special effort in seeking out the lost; *In the parable of the lost
coin we find that the *Palestinian women *were given ten silver coins as a wedding
gift before marriage.
Beside the monetary valve of these coins they had as much
sentimental valve as would a set of wedding rings in our day and time.
One could
just image how you or your daughter would feel if they had lost one of there en-gagement
rings.
They would be extremely distressed, and if they knew where they
had lost it they would search diligently until hopeful they had found it.
When they
had final found it they would no doubt rejoice over it’s finding.
Well, God has the same feeling toward those of us who are lost.
When we are lost it
