PRIMARY TOPIC-The Story of • Father's Love. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Parable of the Prodigal Son. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—The Prodigal's Wanderings and Return. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- IC—Prodigals: Prevention and Rescue. Tht' center of interest In this parable Is not the prodigal nor his brother, but the “certain man who had two sons." In tlds parable in a most picturesque and dramatic manner the history of man Is portrayed, fn m hls fall to his reconciliation with God. The whole erhit of revelation Is swept as It per- •ains to a sinning race and a pardon ing God. He who falls to see the heart of our Father God will miss the pllGmse of the parable. I. The Son’s Insubordination (v. 12). There is every Indlcntlon that this was n happy home. But a devil en tered It and stirred up dlseontent In ♦ he heart of the younger son. Hls de sire for freedom moved him to wilfully choose to leave home—throw off the constraints of hls father’s rule. Sin Is the desire to be free from the restraints of rightful authority and for selfish In dulgence. At the request of the son. the father “divided unto them hls liv ing.” II. The Son’s Departure (v. 13). Having made the fatal decision he went post-haste to the enjoyment of hls cherished vision, so fie got hls goods In portable shape. Having thrown off the restraints of hls fa ther’s rule he eagerly withdrew from hls frther's presence. This Is always the way sin works. Adam and Eve after they had sinned hid themselves. The son could Jiot now stand the pres ence of hls father, so he hastened away. III. The Son’s Degeneration (vr. 13, 14). He had a good time while hls money lasted, hut the end came quickly. From plenty In hls father’s house to destitu tion In the far country was a short Journey. IV. The Son’* Degradation (w. 15. 10). He had no friends now to help him when Ids money wa«i all gone, so he was driven to hire out to a citizen to feed swine. It was quite a change from a son In Ids father’s house (0 feeding hogs In the far country. , So It Is; those who will not serve God are made Slaves to the devil to do hls bid ding (Rom. 0:10). 'n hls shame and | disgrace he could not even get the nec- I essary food. The course food of the hogs was denied him. V. The Son’s Restoration (vv. 17-24). 1. He Came to Himself (v. 17). When 1 h,e reflected a bit he was made con- 1 scions that though he had wronged hls I father and ruined himself, yet he was ' a son of his father. In The days of hls sinning he was beside himself. The sinner continues In hls sin because he T • • i Is Insane, If we could hut get sinners to think seriously of their condition It would he more easy to get them to turn from their sins. 2. Ills Resolution (v. IR). Hls re flection ripened Into resolution. The picture-of hls home where even ♦he hired servants had a superabundance, moved htm to mnlce^a decision to leave the far country and go home. 3. Hls Confession (vv. 18, 10). He acknowledged that hls sin was against heaven .'md Ids fiitfiCP—that "1ip had forfeited his right to be called a son and begged to be given a place as « hired servant. Ine sinner not only should make a resolution, he should confess his sin. «» 4. Hls Action (v. 20). Action wa* needed. Resolution wl'i not avail un less accompanied with action!— When the confession Is genuine, action will follow. 5. Ills Reception by Hls Father (rv;’ 20-24). The father hid not forgotten Ids son. During these years he longed for Ids retuL-n.. lie must often have looked for him, for he saw him when he was a great way off. So anxious was he for him that he ran to meet him and fell upon his neck and kissed him. So glad was the father that he even did not hear hls confession through, but ordered the tokens of honor to he placed upon him, reeelv- j Ing him hack Into a son’s position. I Then the feast was made, expressive of the joy of his heart. God Is love. Jesus came to reveal God. This parable makes bare God’s heart. San Six Hundred Killed.
