This Bible story is based on Luke 15:11–32.

Um, this is Jesus, who is the son of God and the Savior of the world. Uh, while Jesus Jesus was on Earth, he taught everyone about God’s love. He healed many people from their sickness, performed many miracles like calming storms.

00:28.170 –> 00:28.534
And.

00:28.572 –> 00:31.520
Even raised people from the dead.

00:31.520 –> 00:34.990
Uh woohoo.

00:34.990 –> 03:43.662
Jesus taught everyone about God’s love. All kinds of people would come to hear Jesus speak, including tax collectors and people who made bad choices. This made the Pharisees and Jewish leaders mad. Um, they didn’t think that Jesus should be around these kind of people, so Jesus told them this story. A man had two sons. The younger son told his father, um, excuse me, I want my share of your estate now before you die. Okay. So his father agreed and gave his son his inheritance. A few days later, this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land. And there he wasted all his money in wildliving. About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land. Oh, man. Uh, and he began to starve. Hey you. He convinced a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his field to feed the pigs. The young man became so hungry that even the food he was feeding the pigs looked good to him, but no one gave him anything. Finally, he said to himself at home, even the servants have food enough to spare. And here I’m dying of hunger. I know I will go home to my father and apologize and ask him to take me on as a servant. So he returned home to his father, and while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son. His son said to him, father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. But his father said to the servant, quick, bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet, and kill the calf. We have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast. For this son of mine was dead and now has returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found. So the party began. Meanwhile, the older son was in the fields working. When he returned home, he heard music and dancing in the house. Okay, you. And he asked one of the servants what was going on. Your brother is back, he was told, and your father has killed the fatten calf. We are celebrating because of his safe return.

03:43.796 –> 03:47.460
Woohoo. All right.

03:47.460 –> 03:54.734
Um the older brother was angry and wouldn’t go in. His father came out and begged him. Ah, amen.

03:54.734 –> 03:54.754
Uh.

03:54.902 –> 04:42.000
But he replied, all these years I’ve slaved for you, and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to. And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends. Yet when the son of yours comes back after wasting your money you celebrate by giving him a great feast. His father said to him look, dear son, you have always stayed aid by me and everything I have is yours. We had to celebrate this happy day for your brother was dead and has come back to life. He was lost, but now he is found.
