A sweet exposition of the parable of the prodigal son. Pink looks at the prodigal himself, the prodigal's reception, the prodigal's response, the resultant joy, and then the elder son.
“And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living…And when he came to himself, he said…I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee…And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.”—Luke 15:13, 17-18, 20
