The Prodigal Son

In Luke 15:11-32 Jesus told the Prodigal Son story to the Pharisees
13……..the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.

17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

32….for your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!”

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
