Salvation Through the Eyes of a Prodigal

Standing as the most intricate of Christ’s parables, Luke 15 is the most vivid and prominent illustration of salvation in all of the Scriptures! The Parable of the Prodigal Son is a story with intricate cultural dynamics, deep and raw emotions, as well as a spiritual depth unrivaled among the other parables. It is a story of rebellion and disobedience, repentance and confession, forgiveness and restoration. Through this parable, Jesus Christ puts salvation on display through the repentance of the younger son, the unmerited favor of his father, and the inward rebellion of the older brother. As you take this journey with me, we will carefully consider Christ’s teaching and allow His words to direct our understanding of: 


Original sin 

Human depravity 

Free will 

Repentance 

The prayer of faith 

Restoration 


Jesus illustrates each of these truths through a complex yet riveting narrative of a wayward son’s journey to restoration with his father. My prayer is that our study through Luke 15 will strengthen your faith and allow you to see Salvation Through the Eyes of a Prodigal!
