"Prodigal son" is not just a short story. At first glance it seems simple, but it contains many important topics and symbols. The three main characters (father, young song, eldest son) represent one aspect of the religious background spread throughout the story. The concept of family is common in this story, but more important is the symbol of Jesus and his followers conveyed through family values. This family embodies the concept of God, sinner and Pharisee.
In its original context, the allegiance of the prodigal son is not considered a story of repentance or forgiveness, a story of justice and grace, or a story of Jewish foreign phobia and Christian universalism. Conversely, looking for recycled children lost in the metaphor and reevaluating the meaning of the family not only provides good news but also provides better news. Everyone who knows the Bible will recognize the first word as "practical" that there is a person with two sons. They also tend to recall the stories of Cain and Abel, Isaac and Ishmael, and Jacob and Esau, and to know a young son. But here are those who have Bible culture, when my younger brother is an irresponsible, self-disciplined, perhaps addictive child, not Abel's justice, faithful Isaac, or wise Jacob. The metaphor is unexpected.
A parable of a prodigal son is one of Jesus' most famous stories. It is often referred to as the story of a prodigal son, but the word Prodigal is missing in the Bible. Explain that he "lost" his son, emphasizing alienation from the sinner's god, expressing his son as "a wandering son" and emphasizing the mazeous lifestyle. In fact, this particular metaphor has many ideas about the nature of man and God. The word "prodigal son" is sometimes defined as "reckless or useless luxury", but the son of this story shows this behavior when dealing with the proportion of his father's wealth. He regained her heritage early from her father, "wasting his wealth in wild life", and "I am beginning to need help." Desire and waste, if there is no God, we will waste our resources and energy until it becomes ineffective and empty
