Detailed explanation-1: -In the parable of the Prodigal Son, the father forgives his son when he returns and welcomes him home. In the same way, God waits for humans to realise what they have done wrong and ask for forgiveness and welcomes them back when they do.

Detailed explanation-2: -We are the Prodigal son. We all sin and move away from God. God is like the Father in that story. When you go to reconciliation, you are basically walking back to The Father (God) God will be waiting for us with open arms to give us a nice big HUG.

Detailed explanation-3: -I cannot forgive myself. I cannot make myself feel loved. By myself I cannot leave the land of my anger. I cannot bring myself home.”

Detailed explanation-4: -The main message of the Parable of the Prodigal Son is that God loves us unconditionally, no matter what we have done. This story teaches us that no matter how far we stray from God, He is always willing to take us back and forgive us. This parable also shows us the importance of repentance and forgiveness.

Detailed explanation-5: -Reconciliation was shown when it says “While he was still a long way off, his father intercepted him and threw his arms around him and kissed him”. The prodigal’s faith was answered with a father’s love, with forgiveness of sin and reconciliation as a son.

Detailed explanation-6: -Jesus tells the parable of the lost sheep to show that the Kingdom of God is accessible to all, even those who were sinners or strayed from God’s path. He uses the example of a shepherd (God) who has 100 sheep and one goes missing. The shepherd leaves the 99 others and searches high and low for the lost sheep.
