The father and the son: • Q: How would a normal father respond in that culture? • Normally – he would have banished the son! • Q: But what did this father do? • He gave it to him! • Realize that it was costly. He probably had to sell off 1/3 of his land…. So it took work even gathering the inheritance. • Q: Why do you think he gave it to his son? • Q: Does God sometimes give us the sinful things we desire – to teach us a lesson? • Ex in my life- Partnership
