The Father is Waiting

The Younger Son

He Pursued a Life of Self-Determination

I Will Yield to God’s Authority in My Life

The Older Son

He Lived a Life of Self-Righteousness

He Did Not Acknowledge His Inheritance or His Brother’s Restoration

I Will Reject Self-Righteousness and Rejoice in the Restoration of Others

The Loving, Forgiving Father

He Allowed His Sons to Make Their Own Decisions

He Desired to Restore Both Sons to a Wholesome Relationship with Him

All Who Wander Can Return to Their Loving, Heavenly Father
