Ep. 53 "It Was Right That We Should Make Merry and Be Glad"
The Parable of the Prodigal Son, which has been called the greatest short story ever written, is the third in a trilogy of illustrations concerning God’s love for the lost. Combined, these three parables emphasize the depth of God’s love, the desperation of God’s love, and the discipline of God’s love. This episode considers this parable’s deep relatability, highlighting human flaws and divine forgiveness, and ultimately heaven’s reaction when a lost sinner returns home to God.
