The Greater Inheritance
The Greater Inheritance
What is the story of the prodigal son about in Luke 15? It is about a father wanting his son to step into and operate in his true authority. But the prodigal takes a direction that
has nothing to do with the authority his father wills for him to walk in. His father’s desire for him would best suit him and would best prosper him and others, especially in the long haul. The… son is after a bag of gold, thinking that would be the means to reach what his senses told him was desirable and attainable. The father had a far greater inheritance for the boy than the boy was able to see through his impatience and misconceived sense of injustice. Through his greatly lacking vision, the son sees his inheritance as existing in a bag of gold. That’s right folks, one simple bag of gold that is not self-replenishing. Just because we can see something and the desire of it drives us, does not necessarily mean that “something” is what we are to aspire to.
