01:07

never say that our Heavenly Father's

01:10

forgiving Jesus Illustrated this to his

01:12

disciples through a parable which I'm

01:15

going to tell you now another parable

01:18

Jesus said

01:20

[Music]

01:25

once upon a time there was a man who had

01:29

two sons the younger of them said to his

01:31

father father give me the share of the

01:35

property that belongs to me so the

01:37

father divided his property and gave the

01:40

do share to his younger son a few days

01:42

later the youngest son took all the

01:44

money he got and traveled to a distant

01:47

country

01:48

the younger son led a bad life and he's

01:51

wanted all the money he got from his

01:53

father by this time he had spent

01:56

everything there was a severe famine to

02:00

all that country when he was broke and

02:02

he had no other options left he went to

02:06

work for someone he eventually got the

02:08

job of feeding the pigs in a farm the

02:11

order of the farm is very cold and he

02:14

didn't give the youngest son anything to

02:16

eat the son grew weak because he had not

02:19

included and many times he thought of

02:22

eating what the pigs were having one day

02:25

when he was sitting alone he thought all

02:28

of my father's servants have enough

02:30

bread to eat but here I am dying of

02:33

hunger

02:35

I will get up and go to my father and I

02:38

will say to him father I have sinned

02:41

against heaven and before you I'm no

02:45

longer worthy to be called your son

02:47

treat me like one of your servants so he

02:50

set off and went to his father but while

02:54

he was still far off his father saw him

02:56

and was filled with compassion he ran

02:59

and put his arms around him and kissed

03:02

him that the son said to him

03:05

[Music]

03:08

father I have sinned against heaven and

03:12

before you I am no longer worthy to be

03:15

called your son but the father said to

03:18

his slaves

03:19

quickly bring out the Rope the best one

03:23

and put it on him he put a ring on his

03:26

finger and sandals on his feet and get

03:29

the fatted calf and kill it and let us

03:32

eat and celebrate for this son of mine

03:35

was dead and is alive again he was lost

03:39

and is found and they began to celebrate

03:42

now his eldest son was in the field and

03:46

when he came and approached the house he

03:48

heard music and dancing he called one of

03:51

the slaves and asked what was going on

03:53

he replied your brother has come and

03:57

your father has killed the fatted calf

03:59

because he has got him back safe and

04:02

sound then he became angry and refused

04:06

to go in his father came out and began

04:09

to plead with him but he answered his

04:11

father listen for all these years I have

04:14

been working like a slave for you and I

04:17

have never disobeyed your command yet

04:19

you have never given me a young goat so

04:21

that I might celebrate with my friends

04:23

but when this son of yours came back who

04:26

has raised in your property leading a

04:29

bad life

04:31

kill the fatted calf for him that the

04:33

father said to him son you're always

04:37

with me and all that is mine is yours

04:40

but we had to celebrate and rejoice

04:43

because this brother of yours was dead

04:45

and has come to life he was lost and has

04:50

been found wow that was a great story

04:53

it has also a reassuring message for

04:56

each one of us that we have a forgiving

04:59

God and nothing can separate us from his

05:01

love but what is important is that when

05:05

we make a mistake we need to repent the

05:08

greatness of the younger son was that he

05:11

realized his faults and asked

05:13

forgiveness for them what about the

05:15

elder son the elder son illustrates how

05:18

we can get lost by not forgiving our

05:20

fellowmen

05:21

he sins by judging his brother who has

05:23

asked and has been pardoned by his

05:25

generous father remember Christianity is

05:29

all about forgiving the joy of God is to

05:32

forgive I praise You Father and I

05:35

believe that nothing can separate me

05:37

from your forgiving love
