"Be kind because everybody is fighting a battle." Philo
The Prodigal Son: In asking to take the father's inheritance, can we imagine the insult this must have been to his father?!?!? Also, when he got stuck working with the pigs, he was in the midst of a job where he necessarily violated kosher laws!
One imagines that the father was constantly looking towards the horizon....
The son "comes to himself"-- consciousness, awareness...
Insanity is when one continues a negative habit but thinks... this time this habit will produce the result I want!
The movement from the sheep, the woman with the coin, to 2 sons....
The Prodigal prays over Psalm 32 that night!!!
Subversive Grace!
