*The Loving Father*
*Luke 15:11-32 (NIV)*
*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 country, 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.’ *20*So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
*21*“The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
*22*“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick!
Bring the best robe and put it on him.
Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
*23*Bring the fattened calf and kill it.
Let’s have a feast and celebrate.
*24*For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’
So they began to celebrate.
*25*“Meanwhile, the older son was in the field.
When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing.
*26*So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on.
*27*‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
*28*“The older brother became angry and refused to go in.
So his father went out and pleaded with him.
*29*But he answered his father, ‘Look!
All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders.
Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
*30*But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
*31*“ ‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.
*32*But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’
