The Parable of the Prodigal Son

July 20, 2025 Preacher: John Bell Series: Jesus & Sinners

Passage: Luke 15:11–32

Even as the prodigal son always had the option of repenting and
returning home, so also all sinners, however wicked, may
confess their sins and turn to God in humble repentance (11-
20a).
Even as the father went to elaborate lengths to offer
reconciliation to the prodigal son, so also God offers all people,
however undeserving, lavish forgiveness of sin if they are willing
to accept it (20b-24)
Even as the older brother should not have begrudged his
brother’s reinstatement but rather rejoiced in it, so those who
claim to be God’s people should be glad and not mad that God
extends his grace even to the most undeserving (25-32)
