The Parable of the Prodigal Son | Sunday School lesson for kids

The Parable of the Prodigal Son is a great example of what God’s love for us is like. We often judge ourselves or others, thinking that we can decide who is worthy of God’s forgiveness. But we are not the Judge, God is! And no matter what you have done, He will forgive you. None of us are worthy of His forgiveness, but He offers it freely! Who are we to tell God who He can or cannot forgive? If you have strayed from your Heavenly Father, come home. He is waiting for you with open arms, just like the father was waiting for the prodigal son.
