The Story of the Lost Son

“Then he said, ‘There was once a man who had two sons. The younger

said to his father, ‘Father, I want right now what’s coming to me.’

So the father divided the property between them. It wasn’t long

before the younger son packed his bags and left for a distant country.

There, undisciplined and dissipated, he wasted everything he had. After

he had gone through all his money, there was a bad famine all through

that country and he began to hurt. He signed on with a citizen there who

assigned him to his fields to slop the pigs. He was so hungry he would

have eaten the corncobs in the pig slop, but no one would give him any.

That brought him to his senses. He said, ‘All those farmhands

working for my father sit down to three meals a day, and here I am

starving to death. I’m going back to my father. I’ll say to him, ‘Father,

I’ve sinned against God. I’ve sinned before you; I don’t deserve to be

called your son. Take me on as a hired hand.’ He got right up and went

home to his father.

When he was still a long way off, his father saw him. His heart

pounding, he ran out, embraced him, and kissed him. The son started

his speech: ‘Father, I’ve sinned against God, I’ve sinned before you; I

don’t deserve to be called your son ever again.’

But the father wasn’t listening. He was calling to the servants,

‘Quick. Bring a clean set of clothes and dress him. Put the family ring

Essay Lesson 1: TP 9

(WS 7)

on his finger and sandals on his feet. Then get a grain-fed heifer and

roast it. We’re going to have a feast! We’re going to have a wonderful

time! My son is here – given up for dead and now alive! Given up for

lost and now found!’ And they began to have a wonderful time.

All this time his older son was out in the field. When the day’s work

was done he came in. As he approached the house he heard music and

dancing. Calling over one of the houseboys, he asked what was going

on. He told him, ‘Your brother came home. Your father has ordered a

feast – barbecued beef! – because he has him home safe and sound.’

The older brother stalked off in an angry sulk and refused to join in.

His father came out and tried to talk to him, but he wouldn’t listen. The

son said, ‘Look how many years I’ve stayed here serving you, never

giving you one moment of grief, but have you ever thrown a party for

me and my friends? Then this son of yours who has thrown away your

money on whores shows up and you go all out with a feast!’

His father said, ‘Son, you don’t understand. You’re with me all the

time, and everything that is mine is yours – but this is a wonderful time,

and we had to celebrate. This brother of yours was dead, and he is alive!

He was lost and he is found!’”

Return of the Wayward Son

A hard working house painting businessman had two sons who both worked for him. The

younger of the two grew bored with the exhausting labor and told his father that instead of inheriting

the family business someday, he wanted money now. He felt his father had wasted his life when

there was so much pleasure waiting. Disappointed in his foolish son, the father gave him money for

half the business. Instead of reinvesting in another business, the son left and quickly squandered it

on drugs and an irresponsible party life. Once penniless and jobless, his eyes were opened to see

how his undisciplined, self-indulgent spending was destroying him. Humbly he decided going home

was the smartest thing to do, but he did not deserve to be called his father’s son. His only desire

became to learn how to become a responsible man like his dad. So, he started walking home. (150)

Expecting nothing more than a job as one of his father’s employees and thankful for that, he

grew anxious as he walked closer to home. Remembering ugly things he said to his father, he knew

he could never become even half the man his father was. From a long way off his father saw him

coming and overcome with joy came running to him, embraced and kissed him. The son began his

speech, but it was futile because his father was not listening. When at the house, his father sent him

immediately to shower and dress in the clothes that were waiting for him. To let him know how

welcome he was, his father called for the best steaks to grill for a feast. He was thrilled that his son,

whom he had given up for dead, was not only alive, but home. Immediately, a celebration was

prepared with everyone in town invited. (153)

Meanwhile, the older son had been working hard in the blistering sun. Driving home, he

longed for a relaxing evening watching baseball. Approaching the house, he heard loud music and

laughter. People were everywhere. Without delay he questioned one of his dad’s employees and

was told that his brother came home, so his father ordered his best steaks grilled for a party.

Immediately becoming insanely jealous, the sibling went to his father screaming irrationally.

Refusing to join in the festivities, he pointed out how he had faithfully worked for his father, yet not

once did his father ever celebrate anything in his honor. But, when his worthless brother comes

home the renegade is honored with a feast to end all feasts. When he finished his whining and

complaining, his father gently told him nothing had changed. The older brother would still receive

everything he would have anyway. It would be wrong however, to deny the father a celebration of

the return of his wayward son, who was once lost but had come home. God, like the father, loves the

repentant and the obedient just the same. (186)
