PRODIGAL WEEKEND is just around the corner. We wanted to take some time to explain a little more about its theme and what students can expect to learn at this event.
Consider this thought: “There are two types of people in this world: those who know they’re lost and those who don’t.”
That sounds deep, but have you ever thought of yourself as lost? Sure, there are good days and bad days, and everyone messes up occasionally, but “lost” can sound a bit harsh.
It turns out, this is exactly what Jesus wanted to tell us through the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. Before a mixed crowd of infamous sinners and super-religious people, Jesus used the example of two brothers—the Runaway (the younger son) and the Hard-Heart (the older son)—to show that there’s more than one way to be lost. The same is true for us; rebellious rule-breakers and strict rule-followers alike need to hear the Gospel. Thankfully, Jesus also showed us the one way to come back home.
That’s what this event is all about: examining our hearts, discovering God’s fatherly love for us, and letting Him teach us how to repent and enjoy a relationship with him.
Prodigal...it’s time to come home.
