Lesson on 24th February: The Lost (or Prodigal) Son

We even had a poem!
Megan also wrote something in her book defining love: “Love is caring about someone so much that nothing else matters and you would do anything for them”. I think that hits the nail on the head when it comes to looking at Christian ideas of love. Christians understand God to be like the father in the story - even though his children may go off and squander everything given to them they are still welcomed back with open arms and a party when they decide to return.
