That's how you get their attention.

JOKE-OGRAPHY: In this Bible verse, Jesus tells His disciples that they must be spiritually vigilant, lest the end surprise them when it comes. "Look out!" He says. "Stay alert!" for the servants of the house do not know when their master will return. In this cartoon, His "Look out!" is much more animated, causing the disciples to panic as if an imminent threat is upon them. When Jesus continues the story and they realize the "Look out!" was just the beginning of a theology lesson, they all breathe a sigh of relief... except for Thomas, who makes it known that he doubts the wisdom of scaring your audience half to death before teaching them.

"You could have helped people," said Brutha. "But all you did was stamp around and roar and try to make people afraid. Like...like a man hitting a donkey with a stick. But people like Vorbis made the stick so good, that's all the donkey ends up believing in."

"That could use some work, as a parable," said Om sourly.

"This is real life I'm talking about!"

"It's not my fault if people misuse the--"

"It is! It has to be! If you muck up people's minds just because you want them to believe in you, what they do is all your fault!"

Parable of the Prodigal Son:

Jesus conveyed a profound message about forgiveness, redemption, and the boundless love of God. Let's reframe the narrative within this Christian context, drawing from Luke 15:11-32, and infuse it with additional biblical insights.

A certain man had two sons. The younger son asked for his share of the inheritance and journeyed to a distant land where he squandered his wealth in reckless living. Soon, a severe famine swept through the land, and the young man found himself in dire need.

In his desperation, he sought employment feeding pigs, a job that symbolized his degradation and distance from his upbringing. Yet, in his lowest moment, he came to his senses and decided to return to his father, confessing his sins and seeking forgiveness.

His father, filled with compassion, ran to greet him while he was still far off. Instead of condemnation, the father embraced his wayward son, clothing him in the finest robe and celebrating his return with a lavish feast.

Meanwhile, the older son, who had remained obedient and dutiful, grew resentful at the extravagant welcome given to his brother. But the father, ever merciful, reminded him of the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation.

This parable echoes the essence of divine mercy and the unconditional love of God. Just as the father welcomed back his repentant son, so too does our Heavenly Father eagerly await our return, ready to forgive and restore us to fellowship with Him.

The Prodigal Son reminds us of the importance of humility, repentance, and forgiveness in our Christian journey. It challenges us to examine our attitudes towards others, particularly those who have strayed from the path, and to emulate God's boundless love and compassion.

Broader context:

Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32):

This is the main passage where the parable is found.

Forgiveness and Reconciliation:

Matthew 18:21-22 - Jesus teaches about forgiveness.

Colossians 3:13 - Encouragement to forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Ephesians 4:32 - Be kind and compassionate, forgiving one another.

Luke 6:37 - Judge not, and you will not be judged; forgive, and you will be forgiven.

God's Unconditional Love:

Romans 8:38-39 - Nothing can separate us from the love of God.

1 John 4:16 - God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God.

Romans 5:8 - God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Ephesians 2:4-5 - But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ.

Repentance and Restoration:

Acts 3:19 - Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.

Joel 2:13 - Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love.

Isaiah 55:7 - Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Celebration in Heaven over Repentance:

Luke 15:7 - Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

Luke 15:10 - Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

God's Provision and Restoration:

Philippians 4:19 - And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Psalm 23:1 - The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Matthew 6:26 - Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

God's Sovereignty and Compassion:

Psalm 103:8 - The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

Lamentations 3:22-23 - The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

James 5:11 - Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.

Questions:

How does the parable of the Prodigal Son reflect God's unconditional love and forgiveness?

In what ways do we, like the older brother, struggle with forgiveness and harbor resentment towards others?

How can we cultivate a spirit of compassion and reconciliation in our interactions with those who have gone astray?

What steps can we take to emulate the father's example of mercy and grace in our daily lives?

Let us pray: Heavenly Father, we thank you for the timeless wisdom and grace revealed in the parable of the Prodigal Son. Teach us to extend forgiveness, show compassion, and embrace reconciliation in our relationships, reflecting your boundless love for all your children. Amen.

An ascetic sat meditating in a cave. All at once, a mouse scurried in and nibbled at his sandal. In annoyance, the ascetic opened his eyes.

'Why are you disturbing me in my contemplation?' 'I am hungry', squeaked the mouse. 'Go away, silly mouse’, lectured the ascetic. 'I am seeking oneness with God.. How could you think of disturbing me?' 'How do you propose to become one with God’, asked the mouse, 'if you can't even become one with me?'

We can hope, and isn't that what faith is all about?

JOKE-OGRAPHY: The verse being summarized here is about Jesus separating the good people from the bad at the final judgment. The good people (represented by the sheep) are welcomed into Heaven, while the bad (represented by the goats) are told to depart. Father Mark reads the scripture in class, but the little girl, Agnes, thinks the story is saying that Heaven is only for sheep, and not actual humans. Maybe she's right. This would not be funny.

The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus

19 “There was once a rich man,” said Jesus, “who was dressed in purple and fine linen, and feasted in splendor every day. 20 A poor man named Lazarus, who was covered with sores, lay outside his gate. 21 He longed to feed himself with the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 “In due course the poor man died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried. 23 As he was being tormented in Hades, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, and Lazarus in his bosom. — Luke 16:19-23 | New Testament for Everyone (NTE) The New Testament for Everyone copyright © Nicholas Thomas Wright 2011. Cross References: Proverbs 31:22; Ezekiel 16:49; Matthew 11:23; Matthew 15:27; Matthew 26:71; Luke 16:24; John 1:18; John 13:23

📃 Однажды мудрец собрал своих учеников и показал им обычный лист бумаги, где нарисовал маленькую чёрную точку. Он спросил их:

— Что вы видите?

Все хором ответили, что чёрную точку. Ответ был неверным. Мудрец сказал:

— А разве вы не видите этот белый лист бумаги — он так огромен, больше, чем эта чёрная точка! Вот так и в жизни — мы видим в людях первым делом что-то плохое, хотя хорошего намного больше. И лишь единицы видят сразу белый лист бумаги.

*****************************************************

One day, the sage gathered his students and showed them an ordinary piece of paper, where he drew a small black dot. He asked them:

— What do you see?

Everyone replied in unison that it was a black dot. The answer was incorrect. The Sage said:

— But don't you see this white sheet of paper — it's so huge, bigger than this black dot! That's the way it is in life — we see something bad in people first, although there is much more good. And only a few people immediately see a white sheet of paper.
