“The Price of Prodigality”
“And when he came to himself, … “. Luke 15:17a
The prodigal lost everything and then said, “What am I
doing here?” Finally, he came to himself. That’s a bad time to
wake up, friend, when you bounce off the bottom of the barrel.
When you can’t get any lower, and then you say, “Good night,
what am I doing here? My father’s servants have it better than I
do. I’m a son and they’re servants, but they have a roof over
their heads and clothes on their back and shoes on their feet
and food in their belly and sweet communion with one
another. Here I am all alone, starving to death in rags.” He
realized that when he thought he didn’t have what he wanted,
he really had everything he needed, because he had the father.
He said, “I know what I’ll do. I’ll arise and return to my
father and tell him, ‘I’m not worthy to be called your son.” The
point is that he had lost everything in pursuit of his own will
and plan. His father forgave him and received him back, but
his father never did redivide the inheritance. What he had
gotten, he had thrown to the wind, and it was lost forever.
Here’s a boy that didn’t want to work with his brother as
partners, so in the end he would work for his brother as an
employee! His brother inherited the business. He got a job
working for his brother instead of being partners with him
because he followed his ambition and will, and lost everything
his father meant for him to have.
