tha presence of the angels of god over one sinner that repenteth luke 15 10 analysis i the gospel ik the parable ii the prodigal son iii the loving father i the cospel in the parable the whole parable is in two parts the prodigal son is the subject of the first part the elder brother of the second the first part has constantly been taken as the gospel itself in story form this is quite right but the objection has been raised tjiat the christian gospel is the gospel of the cross and that there is nothing about the cross ror about the mediator here but this seems a somewhat superficial judgment we speak of the cross as revealing the fathers love in the story the father directly reveals his love and there would be no place for a mediator but is there no cross in the story when the father knowing his boys character let him go when news came to the father of the dis asters that had overtaken his son and of the shame to which he had brought himself was there no cross in the fathers heart of this the boy had no inkling at the time but when he actually reached his father who cut his speech short and looking into his fathers face he realized what his de parture had meant tc him and still more e disgraco to which he had fallen then surely the cross was n his own heart he was as it were crucified with hi3 father and their reconciliation is effected veritably through a cross it is not really true then to say of this parable that it omits the cross ii the prodigal son further the parable indicates the nature of true love a sentimental affection on the fathers part would have prevented the lad from ever leaving home it seems that a3 the younger son he had the right to ex pect onethird of his fathers movable possessions at his fathers death but he had no legal claim upon his patri mony in his fathers lifetime- his father therifore might properly have refused his request he might have compelled tie boy to live at least outwardly a decent life but the father was too strong and brave too truly loving to do that the boy must go and learn for himself there is no other way that kind of boy can learn then when the inevitable has hap pened his father will be ready for him and home will be a new piace there is a jewish saying when israel is reduced to tho carobtree they become the repentant the husks which the swine did eat are the carobpods the possession of pigs as well as the eating of them i was forbidden to jews the care of pigs therefore was the lowest pos sible service to which a jew could sink if the father had been tho kind of ma- at all costs to keep his son from suffering if he had been con cerned for the family reputation in such a way as by any means to pre vent a scandal he would never have won his son nothing is harder than to watch while some loved person goes to the dogs but it seems that there are some people who can never be saved till they have brought them selves to the gutter they may slip away from recency and all the restraints and all the traditions of home but they cannot slip away from their place in the fathers heart it is disaster that brings the prodigal son to his senses the disaster therefore to which sin and folly lead may all be part of the fathers loving purpose but trie prodigal though he was repentant was not yet aved repentance is here a disgusted turn ing away from sin and a turning to wards god but it is not of itself sal vation iii the loving father once again the father is not a sentimentalist ho docs not pretend that nothing has happened the boy had been lost and is now found he 13 as it were risen from the dead he is indeed reinstated at home but neither to him nor to his father will home bo what it was before in the old days he had been unwillingly kept at home home had irked him and of what home really mean3 he had no idea his father held him but never possessed hini but now hi3 fathc possesses him for ever he knows his father as he neither knew nor could have known him
