Summary

A son looks his father in the eye and basically says, “I want your stuff, not you.” That’s the gut-punch at the center of Luke 15’s third parable, and it’s why this story cuts deeper than a lost sheep or a misplaced coin. I’m Jay Reisner, filling in this week, and I walk through the parable of the man with two sons to show what Scripture reveals about willful lostness, rebellion, and the long road back home.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil.
0:11.4	Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:20.3	Welcome again to the Daily Blade. I'm Jay Reisner. I'm filling in for
0:23.6	Kyle and Joby this week. I'm lead pastor at Faith Bible Church here in Edmond, Oklahoma.
0:28.1	This week, we'll be looking, continuing to look at the parables of Luke 15. And today we've come to

0:53.3	which is a total act of dishonor.
0:56.2	But the text says that the father divides his life between the sons, gives the boy what he
1:00.7	asks for, and the boy then leaves home.
1:04.8	So this isn't a 1% loss like the lost sheep in the first parable in Luke 15.
1:14.4	It's not a 10% loss like the coin in the second parable of Luke 15. This is a story of a man with two sons. So we're talking about a 50% loss
1:22.1	plus a third of the father's wealth is given to his son. And you know the story.
1:28.4	The son squanders his riches.
1:30.4	He's left desperate and starving to death, which brings him back to his father.
1:35.6	His father is thrilled to see him return.
1:38.3	He throws a party, invites all to come, and they rejoice with him.
1:42.5	On the surface.
1:45.0	Happy ending.
1:46.3	Great story.
1:47.7	What does it mean?
