Luke 15:11 - 32

The familiar account of the prodigal son highlights the extent of God's love.  Much like the lost coin and sheep from the previous illustration, the father in this vignette sees the value of the lost son and does whatever is necessary to see him restored.  The older brother (who ran away mentally years ago but physically was present at the father's side) never understood the depth of forgiveness possible from his father.  He was the true loser in the story.
