The Repentant Son

The prodigal son was an immature son who wanted the things that were for his mature years. Once having them he squandered them ending up in an impoverished condition leading to living as a servant in a distant land. The story would be sad if it ended there, but it didn’t. The pathway to restoration was paved by his decision to repent and return to the Father who would restore him. Repentance became a revelation for the son to experience the Father in an even greater revelation.
