“A PARABLE OF TWO SONS!”
Luke 15:11-12
“Then He said: ‘A certain man had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood.’”
My own father had two sons. I could tell you what a good son I was and how much better than my brother (since both of them have gone to be with the Lord). That, however, would not be realistic or honest with you or myself. Let’s just focus on the two sons in this parable Jesus shared, which I will do throughout this week.
The first thing we are introduced to is the contrast between the two sons. The older son seems to be the perfect example of what a good son should be; but later on we will see more of his true character.
The younger son was much like the typical young man throughout the ages. He was more interested in good times than in taking responsibility. He asked for his share of the family inheritance ahead of time. I suppose he felt he needed it while he was young and could enjoy the pleasures of sin with lots of money.
Surprisingly, his father granted the youth's request. At the same time I am sure that the father’s heart was heavy. This son that he loved was leaving the family and he may never see him again ... and so the parable of the two sons begins.
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
