After each suggestion, have the adult helpers act out that behavior. Here are some examples. The Father in the story shows us what God is like. The brothers in the story show us what we are like. The point is that God wants to save both people who follow the rules and people who break all the rules.

Active Listening : Call on three children to act out the Bible story while you tell it. If possible, pick kids with dramatic personalities. I want you to listen carefully to the way each brother treat the father and the way the father responds. Read Luke : Be sure to engage the children with good story telling.

Ask unscripted questions to clarify points in the story. Optional Video : If you have internet, consider showing one of these videos as a review of the Bible story. I like to challenge the kids to watch carefully if the video follows the real Bible story we just read. If the statement is correct they should stand, if it is false they should remain seated.

He ends up wishing that he could eat what the pigs are eating and decides to go back and beg his dad to just let him have even a scrap of mercy.

If you were his father, what would you have done if your son came back after all of those things had happened? But no, this father who is supposed to represent God, by the way… has been waiting and looking for his son to return. This father is radical and does exactly the opposite of what you think he would do: He welcomes his son home with open arms. Maybe some of you can relate to the oldest son: He had stayed with the father and had done what he thought he was supposed to do.

In our own individual way, we have gone to God and insulted him… we have taken the love and gifts that He has given us and just thrown them away. So, he was waiting for him to return home and no telling how long the father had just been there waiting and watching for his son on the road. And I think that Jesus wants those of us who think that we have gone so far away that God would never want to take us back to really stop and hear these words.
