The story of the prodigal son comes alive as each of the characters in the story steps out of a 'picture' and tells his part. The picture depicts the moment of the father welcoming his 'lost' son home; the basis of the parable as told by Jesus and recorded in Luke 15. The father, younger son, and older son are included, with a faithful servant added to help narrate the story and connect the parts. It is a dramatic way to present the parable and its meaning, useful for a church program or for Bible study. The unmerited love of the fatheris the main theme, but sin, repentance, hope, justice, mercy, and resentment are also represented in this classic story. 3
