Parables of Jesus Resource Roundup, Part Three
The prodigal son and the good Samaritan–two people the world ignored and rejected, but two people the Lord redeemed and called into service. One suffered the consequences of his poor choices; one suffered the sting of racism. Each of us can identify with both. We’ve all made poor choices at times, and we’ve all felt the pain of discrimination. Both show us what to do, whichever situation we find ourselves in–come to your Father and serve your Father, regardless of what anyone else thinks of you. He already knows, He never stops loving us, and He has a special job for you that only you can do.
