This will be the fifth Father\u2019s Day in which I have not had my dad around to wish him a Happy Father\u2019s Day.\u3000 \u79c1\u306b\u3068\u3063\u3066\u7236\u306e\u65e5\u3092\u795d\u3046\u65e5\u306b\u3001\u305d\u306e\u7236\u304c\u5074\u306b\u3044\u306a\u3044\u306e\u306f\u3001\u4eca\u56de\u3067\u4e94\u56de\u76ee\u306b\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

I also thank God that He gave me a dad here on this earth that truly loved and encouraged me throughout my life.\u3000 \u307e\u305f\u3001\u79c1\u306e\u4eba\u751f\u3092\u901a\u3057\u3066\u79c1\u3092\u5fc3\u304b\u3089\u611b\u3057\u3001\u52b1\u307e\u3057\u3066\u304f\u308c\u305f\u7236\u3092\u3053\u306e\u5730\u4e0a\u306b\u4e0e\u3048\u3066\u304f\u308c\u305f\u3053\u3068\u3092\u795e\u69d8\u306b\u611f\u8b1d\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

One of the precious memories I have of my dad is that while he was healthy, \u7236\u3068\u306e\u5927\u5207\u306a\u601d\u3044\u51fa\u306e\u3072\u3068\u3064\u306f\u3001\u7236\u304c\u5143\u6c17\u3060\u3063\u305f\u9803\u3001<\/p>\n

he always saw me off when I left his house by standing in the driveway until I was out of sight.\u3000\u79c1\u304c\u5bb6\u3092\u51fa\u308b\u6642\u306f\u3044\u3064\u3082\u3001\u79c1\u304c\u898b\u3048\u306a\u304f\u306a\u308b\u307e\u3067\u8eca\u9053\u306b\u7acb\u3063\u3066\u898b\u9001\u3063\u3066\u304f\u308c\u305f\u3053\u3068\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

I would often look toward him as I turned the corner as I drove away.\u3000 \u79c1\u306f\u89d2\u3092\u66f2\u304c\u308b\u6642\u3001\u3088\u304f\u7236\u306e\u307b\u3046\u3092\u898b\u306a\u304c\u3089\u8eca\u3092\u8d70\u3089\u305b\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n

That image of my dad seeing me off is seared into my memory.\u3000 \u7236\u304c\u79c1\u3092\u898b\u9001\u3063\u3066\u304f\u308c\u305f\u305d\u306e\u59ff\u306f\u3001\u79c1\u306e\u8a18\u61b6\u306b\u713c\u304d\u3064\u3044\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

It is wonderful to have good images stored away in your memory of the people you love.\u3000 \u611b\u3059\u308b\u4eba\u306e\u826f\u3044\u30a4\u30e1\u30fc\u30b8\u3092\u8a18\u61b6\u306e\u4e2d\u306b\u3057\u307e\u3063\u3066\u304a\u304f\u3053\u3068\u306f\u7d20\u6674\u3089\u3057\u3044\u3053\u3068\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Remembering my dad in this way also brings comfort and peace to me.\u3000 \u3053\u3046\u3057\u3066\u7236\u3092\u601d\u3044\u51fa\u3059\u3053\u3068\u3067\u3001\u79c1\u306b\u3082\u6170\u3081\u3068\u5e73\u5b89\u304c\u3082\u305f\u3089\u3055\u308c\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

So, first, Jesus gave a parable of one sheep that got lost out of a sheepfold of a hundred sheep.\u3000 \u305d\u3053\u3067\u307e\u305a\u3001\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u306f\u767e\u5339\u306e\u7f8a\u306e\u7fa4\u308c\u304b\u3089\u8ff7\u3044\u51fa\u305f\u4e00\u5339\u306e\u7f8a\u306e\u305f\u3068\u3048\u3092\u8a71\u3055\u308c\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002<\/p>\n

Sinners should know that God is diligently looking for them.\u3000 \u7f6a\u4eba\u306f\u3001\u795e\u69d8\u304c\u71b1\u5fc3\u306b\u63a2\u3057\u3066\u304a\u3089\u308c\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3092\u77e5\u308b\u3079\u304d\u306a\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

And the courts of heaven are full of praise when a sinner turns to God.\u3000 \u305d\u3057\u3066\u3001\u7f6a\u4eba\u304c\u795e\u69d8\u306b\u7acb\u3061\u8fd4\u308b\u6642\u3001\u5929\u306e\u6cd5\u5ef7\u306f\u8cdb\u7f8e\u306b\u6e80\u3061\u3066\u3044\u308b\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Thus, the parable of the lost son was also told by Jesus to bring home the same point as the first two parables.\u3000 \u3053\u306e\u3088\u3046\u306b\u3001\u5931\u308f\u308c\u305f\u606f\u5b50\u306e\u305f\u3068\u3048\u8a71\u3082\u307e\u305f\u3001\u6700\u521d\u306e\uff12\u3064\u306e\u305f\u3068\u3048\u8a71\u3068\u540c\u3058\u30dd\u30a4\u30f3\u30c8\u3092\u6301\u3061\u5e30\u308b\u305f\u3081\u306b\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u306b\u3088\u3063\u3066\u8a9e\u3089\u308c\u305f\u3082\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

However, this third parable which was read a little earlier, hits closer to home.\u3000 \u3057\u304b\u3057\u3001\u5148\u306b\u8aad\u307f\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3001\u3053\u306e\u7b2c\u4e09\u306e\u305f\u3068\u3048\u306f\u3001\u79c1\u9054\u306b\u3088\u308a\u8eab\u8fd1\u306a\u3068\u3053\u308d\u306b\u3042\u308a\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

This is because for this parable, it has to do with a family and focuses on the relationship between a father and his sons.\u3000 \u3068\u3044\u3046\u306e\u3082\u3001\u3053\u306e\u305f\u3068\u3048\u8a71\u306f\u5bb6\u65cf\u306b\u95a2\u4fc2\u3059\u308b\u3082\u306e\u3067\u3042\u308a\u3001\u7236\u89aa\u3068\u606f\u5b50\u305f\u3061\u306e\u95a2\u4fc2\u306b\u7126\u70b9\u3092\u5f53\u3066\u3066\u3044\u308b\u304b\u3089\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Jesus wants us to see and understand the love and kindness of God as our Father through the actions of the father in the parable.\u3000 \u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u306f\u3001\u305f\u3068\u3048\u8a71\u306b\u51fa\u3066\u304f\u308b\u7236\u89aa\u306e\u884c\u52d5\u3092\u901a\u3057\u3066\u3001\u79c1\u305f\u3061\u306e\u7236\u3067\u3042\u308b\u795e\u306e\u611b\u3068\u512a\u3057\u3055\u3092\u898b\u3001\u7406\u89e3\u3057\u3066\u307b\u3057\u3044\u3068\u9858\u3063\u3066\u304a\u3089\u308c\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

The parable is made up of three primary characters.\u3000 \u3053\u306e\u305f\u3068\u3048\u8a71\u306f\u3001\u4e09\u4eba\u306e\u4e3b\u306a\u767b\u5834\u4eba\u7269\u3067\u69cb\u6210\u3055\u308c\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

It is quite evident that in the parable, the father pictures God.\u3000 \u3053\u306e\u305f\u3068\u3048\u8a71\u306e\u4e2d\u3067\u3001\u7236\u89aa\u304c\u795e\u3092\u8c61\u5fb4\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b\u3053\u3068\u306f\u660e\u3089\u304b\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

The wayward son symbolizes lost sinners, especially the tax collectors and sinners mentioned in Luke 15:1, and if we are honest with ourselves, depicts all of us.\u3000 \u9053\u3092\u8e0f\u307f\u5916\u3057\u305f\u606f\u5b50\u306f\u3001\u8ff7\u3048\u308b\u7f6a\u4eba\u3001\u7279\u306b\u30eb\u30ab\u306b\u3088\u308b\u798f\u97f3\u66f8\uff11\uff15\u7ae0\uff11\u7bc0\u306b\u8a18\u3055\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\u53d6\u7a0e\u4eba\u3084\u7f6a\u4eba\u3092\u8c61\u5fb4\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

The older son represents the self-righteous leadership, the Pharisees and scribes mentioned in Luke 15:2.\u3000 \u5e74\u4e0a\u306e\u606f\u5b50\u306f\u3001\u30eb\u30ab\u306b\u3088\u308b\u798f\u97f3\u66f8\uff11\uff15\u7ae0\uff12\u7bc0\u306b\u767b\u5834\u3059\u308b\u81ea\u79f0\u7fa9\u4eba\u3067\u3042\u308b\u6307\u5c0e\u8005\u305f\u3061\u3001\u30d1\u30ea\u30b5\u30a4\u4eba\u3084\u5f8b\u6cd5\u5b66\u8005\u3092\u8868\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

So, we are to place ourselves in the story as one of the two sons in the parable.\u3000 \u3064\u307e\u308a\u3001\u79c1\u305f\u3061\u306f\u3053\u306e\u305f\u3068\u3048\u8a71\u306b\u767b\u5834\u3059\u308b\u4e8c\u4eba\u306e\u606f\u5b50\u306e\u4e00\u4eba\u3068\u3057\u3066\u3001\u7269\u8a9e\u306e\u4e2d\u306b\u8eab\u3092\u7f6e\u304f\u3053\u3068\u306b\u306a\u308b\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

What I read a little earlier, focuses on the relationship between the father and the younger son.\u3000 \u5148\u306b\u8aad\u3093\u3060\u306e\u306f\u3001\u7236\u89aa\u3068\u4e0b\u306e\u606f\u5b50\u306e\u95a2\u4fc2\u306b\u7126\u70b9\u3092\u5f53\u3066\u305f\u3082\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

We will get to the older son a little later.\u3000 \u5e74\u4e0a\u306e\u606f\u5b50\u306b\u3064\u3044\u3066\u306f\u3001\u3082\u3046\u5c11\u3057\u5f8c\u3067\u8aac\u660e\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

However, given the two previous parables, Jesus truly wants us to see God the Father\u2019s heart for the lost.\u3000 \u3057\u304b\u3057\u3001\u5148\u306e2\u3064\u306e\u305f\u3068\u3048\u8a71\u3092\u8e0f\u307e\u3048\u308b\u3068\u3001\u30a4\u30a8\u30b9\u69d8\u306f\u79c1\u9054\u306b\u7236\u306a\u308b\u795e\u306e\u5931\u308f\u308c\u305f\u8005\u306b\u5bfe\u3059\u308b\u5fc3\u3092\u672c\u5f53\u306b\u77e5\u3063\u3066\u307b\u3057\u3044\u3068\u9858\u3063\u3066\u304a\u3089\u308c\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

He wants us to place ourselves in the place of the lost son to experience firsthand how much God loves lost sinners.\u3000 \u5931\u308f\u308c\u305f\u7f6a\u4eba\u3092\u795e\u69d8\u304c\u3069\u308c\u307b\u3069\u611b\u3057\u3066\u304a\u3089\u308c\u308b\u304b\u3092\u8eab\u3092\u3082\u3063\u3066\u4f53\u9a13\u3059\u308b\u305f\u3081\u306b\u3001\u79c1\u9054\u304c\u5931\u308f\u308c\u305f\u606f\u5b50\u306e\u7acb\u5834\u306b\u7acb\u3064\u3053\u3068\u3092\u671b\u3093\u3067\u304a\u3089\u308c\u308b\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Overall, the parable gives more attention to the father and his reaction than to the son\u2019s return.\u3000 \u5168\u4f53\u3068\u3057\u3066\u3001\u3053\u306e\u305f\u3068\u3048\u8a71\u306f\u606f\u5b50\u306e\u5e30\u9084\u3088\u308a\u3082\u3001\u7236\u89aa\u3068\u305d\u306e\u53cd\u5fdc\u306b\u6ce8\u610f\u3092\u5411\u3051\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

As we will see later, we can see the same with the father\u2019s interaction with the older son.\u3000 \u5f8c\u8ff0\u3059\u308b\u3088\u3046\u306b\u3001\u7236\u89aa\u3068\u9577\u7537\u3068\u306e\u3084\u308a\u3068\u308a\u3082\u540c\u3058\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

So, let us focus particularly in the details of the father in the parable.\u3000 \u305d\u3053\u3067\u3001\u3053\u306e\u305f\u3068\u3048\u8a71\u306b\u304a\u3051\u308b\u7236\u89aa\u306e\u7d30\u90e8\u306b\u7279\u306b\u6ce8\u76ee\u3057\u3066\u307f\u307e\u3057\u3087\u3046\u3002<\/p>\n

First of all, we can see how generous God is toward us, His lost children.\u3000 \u307e\u305a\u7b2c\u4e00\u306b\u3001\u795e\u69d8\u304c\u5931\u308f\u308c\u305f\u5b50\u3067\u3042\u308b\u79c1\u9054\u306b\u5bfe\u3057\u3066\u3069\u308c\u307b\u3069\u5bdb\u5927\u3067\u3042\u308b\u304b\u3092\u898b\u308b\u3053\u3068\u304c\u3067\u304d\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

When I mean lost children, I mean toward all of us.\u3000 \u5931\u308f\u308c\u305f\u5b50\u4f9b\u9054\u3068\u3044\u3046\u306e\u306f\u3001\u5168\u3066\u306e\u79c1\u9054\u3092\u6307\u3057\u3066\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Everything that we have has been provided by God.\u3000 \u79c1\u9054\u304c\u6301\u3063\u3066\u3044\u308b\u3082\u306e\u306f\u3059\u3079\u3066\u3001\u795e\u69d8\u304c\u4e0e\u3048\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3063\u305f\u3082\u306e\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

The sun, the sky, water, air, as well as the means to eat, drink, clothe ourselves, and house ourselves.\u3000 \u592a\u967d\u3001\u7a7a\u3001\u6c34\u3001\u7a7a\u6c17\u3001\u305d\u3057\u3066\u98df\u3079\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3001\u98f2\u3080\u3053\u3068\u3001\u7740\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3001\u4f4f\u3080\u3053\u3068\u3002<\/p>\n

Some of us are better stewards of what God has given to us than others.\u3000 \u79c1\u9054\u306e\u4e2d\u306b\u306f\u3001\u795e\u69d8\u304c\u79c1\u305f\u3061\u306b\u4e0e\u3048\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3063\u305f\u3082\u306e\u3092\u3001\u4ed6\u306e\u4eba\u3088\u308a\u3082\u4e0a\u624b\u306b\u7ba1\u7406\u3067\u304d\u308b\u4eba\u304c\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n

Yet, the fact remains that God has provided for all of us.\u3000 \u3057\u304b\u3057\u3001\u795e\u69d8\u304c\u79c1\u9054\u5168\u54e1\u306b\u4e0e\u3048\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3063\u3066\u3044\u308b\u3053\u3068\u306b\u5909\u308f\u308a\u306f\u3042\u308a\u307e\u305b\u3093\u3002<\/p>\n

And He continues to provide for us although we may squander away and mismanage what He has so generously given to us.\u3000 \u305d\u3057\u3066\u3001\u795e\u69d8\u304c\u60dc\u3057\u307f\u306a\u304f\u4e0e\u3048\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3063\u305f\u3082\u306e\u3092\u3001\u79c1\u9054\u304c\u6d6a\u8cbb\u3057\u305f\u308a\u3001\u4e0d\u59cb\u672b\u3092\u72af\u3057\u305f\u308a\u3059\u308b\u3053\u3068\u304c\u3042\u3063\u3066\u3082\u3001\u795e\u69d8\u306f\u79c1\u9054\u306b\u4e0e\u3048\u7d9a\u3051\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/p>\n
