Pother. I havo sinned against heavep, ami in thy sight.” Lube 13:18, The parables of Jesus are marvels of unity and condensation, yet n :cc- essary detail is omitted. This, per* haps his most famous, is no excep­ tion even though it docs carry a dou­ ble lesson. Who thinks of the older brother when this story is mentioned? Though designated the “Story of thq Prodigal,” we need to , remind our­ selves that tho word “prodigal” never once occurs in tho story. The open­ ing sentence speaks of a father and of two eons, It ia really tho parable of a perfect father, the unveiling of the true heart of God. Against that background Is set off a self-centered son lacking in natural affection- Also alongside the wayward son is the mis­ erly, selflBh one who lacked all the good qualities of his brother, but who was truly a wanderer and out of har­ mony with God. the Father. -In the background we see the citizens of the far country who helped this young Jew to his place of want, famine and degradation. Rememjuer, it Is our Lord speaking to Jews. When- the GentileB of tho far country sent hint t o . feed, swine they insulted him by compelling him . to get his living through an occupation instinctively repulsive, ■1. First Fruit of Sin. The father makes equal1 partition "divided unto them.” (V. 12) though neither son had a right, ter demand a partition of his estate. At the bot­ tom pf the Son's-request was a desire to have his own way—to be independ­ ent of God. Re' did not go away from home a t once, though bis heart was already in the “far country,” I. Into the Far Country, vv. 13-16, Fun is the first fruit of sin, and that the son readily found so long as his money lasted (Hob. U;2E>). But the consequences followed closely on Its trail, for when he had “spent all” he began to t < in “want.” There are many attractive things about ibis young man, but those qualities were, perverted, they, lacked control, they were good servants but bad task­ masters. It is not always physical, temporal want that comeB to the sin­ ner, there are deeper’ and more in­ tense longings—soul want and sout hunger. These -always come to the soul away from God. Being la want, does not mean that a .man's will has been subdued. Some prodigals in the. most abject temporal need ate ns proud as Lucifer, and boast of, their rebellion. So he “joined himself to a effizeq of the country.” Me did not belong there—the citizen did* He waf set to tfle most degrading task im­ aginable, for a Jew—feeding swine. Like a Lost Sheep." H. The Home Coming, vv, 17*24. The first step was for the son to stop and really think. That Is where sal* vation always begins—In thinking, He knew he was lost, e. g„ out of adjust­ ment, in tho wrong place, out of his element and like the lost sheep, "ready to die.” Ho saw his condi­ tion, money gone, friends gone, bogs for companions, no food for his sus­ tenance. , He. saw his value, He was more important, than the servants of. his father’s homo. He saw his fath­ er's love, already manifested in what had been given him and we fain would believe that when he left homo he had tho father's urgent plea to re­ turn. He saw a way to escape from his present position. All of this after he “came to himself,’* Before that, Impenitent, he was morally Insane, now he lifts reasoned, Isa. 1:18. With his reasoning also came the deter­ mination. to make' a full confession. “I will say unto him?' not alono con­ fess his need but the fact that he had sinned, This is the only way for a sinner to come to God, Ps. 82:3-5; I John 1:9; Luke 18:11-14. He did not stop with resolving hut “he arose and came to his father,” r. 20. He ex­ pected to apply for a servant's posi­ tion, but never had the opportunity for the father saw him “a great way off” and “ran and fell on hts neck and kissed him.” Notice the kiss of recon­ ciliation was given before he even had a chance to confess. In his confes­ sion his first thought Is that he had sinned against God and then against his earthly father. The father had not once forgotten him; he "had com­ passion” evon though tho son was un­ merciful to himself and„to all of hia loved ones, The father kissed him before ho was washed or otherwise made presentable. Neither of tho sons aro perfect but he who uttered the parable was him­ self the true son of the father. Ho never departed from his father, Wasted hts father’s substance, hor brought discredit upon his name. Jesus was In full sympathy with his father’s heart for he welcomed the wandering publicans and sinners to himself, took the journey Into the far country to find tho wanderers and to bring them home. Christ's mission Was to bring many "sons to glory" (Hob. 2:10), which means restoring the wahderer and fulfilling In him the perfectness of sonship. (F o rm e rly C, HE.
