Parable of the Prodigal Pig

lentz · Jun 29, 2023

Everyone has heard the parable of the Prodifal Son. How he fell deep into sin and finally into the hod pen.
After the son came to his senses and became sick of sin,he says i will arise and go to my father,even as a servent,life would be better than this.
A pig near by says,i want to go too. So they bathed the pig,perfumed her and tied a ribbon around her. Then they went to the fathers house..
After a while the pig became disgruntled. It was accustomed to eating off the ground,not white table clothes with forks. It was used to sleeping on the ground,not a soft feather bed.
One day the pig said,i will arise and go to my father. And back to the wallaw in the mire she went.
Thats the difference between a true child of God who falls into sin and a lost person who relishes in it.

I took this story from an old Paster/Teacher who is now passed into Glory.

We should be careful in judging someone lost.
It could be he is a child of God who unfortunately fell into the pig pen.
Pray for him and perhaps he will climb out.
It could be that those we judge are in better shape than ourselves.

  Luke 15 NASB
  11And He said, “A man had two sons. 12The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the estate that [e]is coming to me.’ And so he divided his [f]wealth between them. 13And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey to a distantcountry, and there he squandered his estate in [g]wild living. 14Now when he had [h]spent everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he began doing without. 15So he went and Luke 15 New American Standard Biblehired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs. 16And he longedto have his fill of the carob pods that the pigs were eating, and no one was giving him anything. 17But when he came to [j]his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired laborers have more thanenough bread, but I am dying here [k]from hunger! 18I will set out and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and [l]in your sight; 19I am no longer worthy to be calledyour son; treat me as one of your hired laborers.”’ 20So he set out and came to [m]his father. But when he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and [n]embracedhim and kissed him. 21And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and [o]in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 22But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly bringout the best robe and put it on him, and [p]put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet; 23and bringthe fattened calf, slaughter it, and let’s eat and celebrate; 24for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’ And they began to celebrate.
  
  25“Now his older son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard musicand dancing. 26And he summoned one of the servants and began inquiring what these things could be. 27And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has slaughtered the fattened calfbecause he has received him back safe and sound.’ 28But he became angry and was not willing to goin; and his father came out and began pleading with him. 29But he answered and said to his father, ‘Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never [q]neglected a command of yours; and yet you never gave me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends; 30but when thisson of yours came, who has devoured your [r]wealth with prostitutes, you slaughtered the fattenedcalf for him.’ 31And he said to him, ‘Son, you Luke 15 New American Standard Biblehave always been with me, and all that is mine is yours.32But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live, and was lost and has been found.’”
