The ''' Prodigal Son''' was one of the [[Parables of Jesus]], according to the Gospel of Luke (15:11-32).
==Overview==
Three are the major characters of the parable. The Father (=God), the unfaithful son (who sinned but was then justified), and the faithful son (who did not leave the house but was displeased by his Father's mercy).
The goal of the parables is to announce the good news that a second chance (justification) is given to the sinners who repent. The parable also teaches the righteous not to complain for the justification of the sinners, which does not deprive them of the promised salvation.
