hello tabby gumbo hello freckles hi and we're back
yippee yes and from today I am going to tell you all the great parables told by
Jesus in the Bible
Ha parables powerless what are parables are they like songs
no parables are simple stories told by Jesus to his followers for them to
understand his teachings better oh just like you do I try to all right then let's
begin with our first parable about the lost son once they lived the land the
two sons one day the younger son came to him and said father could you give me my
inheritance let me think about it so the man thought
for a few days and decided to give his inheritance to his two sons
and split it evenly between them when the son received his share of the money
he thought to himself now that I have so much money
I can move someplace else and have some fun then I can get back to working so he
left with every little thing he had he had no plans of returning now that he
had grown up he wanted to spend all the money and do whatever that he felt like
no one to tell him what to do before leaving he did not even think about the
things he left behind he left a big farm but many hired men his family and most
importantly his old father who had immense trust in him to give him the
money his father was very sad and disappointed in his younger son he
missed him too. While the younger son was gone he spent all the money that he had
received from his father he spent it all on things he did not need and he never
thought of saving days went by and the place where he lived
became very poor and so did he there wasn't even enough food for everyone and
hence the food was expensive it was difficult for the young boy to
even buy food for himself as he had spent almost all his money soon he was
in deep trouble he had no money no house to live in and also nothing to eat so he
got a job of feeding pigs he was so hungry that he tried eating the food
that was supposed to feed the pigs one day his master saw him eating the food
for their pigs if I see you doing this again you will surely lose your job that
night as he walked down the street to go back home his stomach growled he was so
hungry he saw a group of people walking down the road he went up to them and
asked for some money but they too didn't have any to share he went home and fell
asleep on an empty stomach next morning he woke up and thought
of himself when I lived with my father even the men
who worked in our farm had more food now I'm the one starving to death
he decided to go home and seek forgiveness from his father the son went
back home and the father was very happy to see him he threw his arms around him
and kissed him he fell to his father's feet and cried please forgive me Father
I have sinned against God and against you I don't deserve to be your son hire
me as a laborer and I will work for you I will start immediately the father was
so happy to see his son he wanted a grand celebration he called out to one
of 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 biggest calf and kill him let's
celebrate for my son was lost and now he is found
meanwhile the older son was working in the field he heard the music and all the
cheer happening back at his home he called out to one of his servants and
said what is happening your brother is back home and your
father is celebrating his return the older brother was very upset hearing
this he refused to go home and be a part of the celebration hearing that his
older son was upset the father went to talk to him what is the matter son why
are you not coming for the celebration your brother is home after so long I
have been working for you all these years and I've always obeyed you yet you
never had any celebration from me now my younger brother has come home after
spending all the money you gave him and you hold a party for him but my son you
are always with me and everything I have is yours we had to celebrate and be glad
for your brother for he was lost and now he is found
so through the story but Jesus tried to explain to his followers was that God is
exactly like the father this is how God would be forgiving to people if they ran
away from him and did things which made God unhappy and also that God never
gives up on us and he will always forgive us if we truly change and
repented for our mistakes that's absolutely correct freckles so it seems
that you children like the parables oh yes we do they are really nice Thank You
holy for telling us the parables I am glad dear off you go now it's time
for me to take a little nap keep watching and we'll be back with another
story bye-bye
