The parable of the prodigal son is also called the parable of the lost son, since it goes with the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin. Some have even called it the parable of the prodigal father, because of the father's extravagance. Even after centuries of teaching about God's grace, the father's willingness to forgive his wasteful son is shockingly generous. But what does it tell us about God? See Parable of the prodigal son, by Michael Morrison

Jesus often preached about the kingdom of God -- but what did he say about it? Did he describe peace and prosperity, health and wealth, law and order? Did he get into details of governmental organization? No, we do not need to know those things. The most important thing we need to know about the kingdom is how we get there in the first place--and when Jesus described the kingdom, that is what he talked about.
