The Parable of the Prodigal Son found in Luke’s gospel is the most famous parable of all time. Why? Because it’s one of the greatest love stories of all time. But it’s not all roses.

It’s a story that reminds us we must never presume on salvation and glory without merit and a full return to the arms of God.
