Luke 15:10-32
In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
The Parable of the Lost Son
Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
“Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
“When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
“The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
“Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
“The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
“‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
Yan po ang parable of the lost son. Para sa mga hindi alam ang parable, ito po ay kwento na may hidden lesson or meaning.
Let's say na yung father ay si God at yung younger son is yung sinners. hiningi nya ay freedom. Lumayo sya kay God.
Nakuha nya ang gusto nya. nagpakasaya sya. let's say by disobeying God's rules.
Dumating ang panahon na nagkaproblema sya. Tingin nya wala nang pag asa. Naalala nya yung times na kasama nya ang father nya. Pinili nyang bumalik kahit may kapalit.
Bumalik sya kay God. Nagulat sya dahil akala nya itatakwil sya. But no. Masaya si God kasi bumalik na ang anak nya. The heaven is celebrating. At alam nyo ang pinaka astig? Yun yung tatnggapin ka ulit nya ng walang kapalit. As long as, from the heart talaga ang paghingi mo ng tawad :)
Sa mga believers na nagseselos jan like the older brother, please dont be jealous! xD Pero bakit sabi sa bible, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than a ninety-nine righteous who does not need to repent? Wala na bang kwenta ang mga righteous?
Syempre may kwenta kayo! More rejoicing nga lang kasi they will be one of us! :) Remember ung sinabi ni God? I came not for the righteous but for the sinners. Eh sino ang kelangan ng doctor spiritually? Diba mga sinners? Tutulungan lang natin sila mag grow more.
Tsaka why do we need to jealous eh sabi ni God, "everything i have is yours." Anu paba ang hahanapin?
