The Father's Heart

Luke 15:1-32 in the Bible contains the famous parable of the Prodigal Son. It tells the story of a son who wastes his inheritance, faces hardship, and returns home to be welcomed and celebrated by his father. This parable is one of three stories Jesus tells in Luke 15 to illustrate God's love and mercy for the lost. The other two are the parable of the lost sheep and the parable of the lost coin.
