故事与讨论(15分钟)

介绍：

通常，浪子的比喻是从儿子的角度来解读的，在今天的课程中，我们将从父亲的角度来看这个故事。耶稣的比喻展示了慈爱的父亲的品质。慈父的品质可以适用于我们生活中所有扮演父亲角色的男性；父亲、继父、祖父、叔叔、老师、教练等等。我们也可以与天父建立这种充满爱的关系。

读路加福音 15:11-32（浪子的比喻）

讨论问题：

当小儿子要求分家产时，父亲做了什么？（父亲公平且慷慨地将财产分给了他的儿子们。）
当小儿子想离开时，父亲有没有阻止他？（没有，父亲明智地让他的儿子自己闯荡。）
父亲有没有放弃小儿子有一天会回来的希望？（没有，父亲耐心地等待儿子的归来。）
当父亲看到小儿子从远处走来时，他做了什么？（父亲充满怜悯地跑出去迎接儿子，用拥抱和亲吻欢迎他回来。）
小儿子回来时，父亲是如何对待他的？（父亲非常仁慈地对待他，尽管他并不值得被这么对待。）
父亲有没有停止爱他的儿子们？（没有，他对孩子们表现出了真正的爱，无论在他们最好的时候还是最糟的时候都爱他们。）
父亲是如何对待认为小儿子受到特别待遇的大儿子的？（父亲是一个和平的使者，充满爱心地向大儿子解释了庆祝的原因。）
我们在父亲身上看到了哪些品质？（公平、慷慨、智慧、耐心、怜悯、恩典、真爱和和平。）

应用(2分钟)

与世上的父亲或父亲形象的关系，即使再好，也无法与我们和天父的关系相比。神的许多特质在浪子的父亲身上都可以看到。诗篇68:5中，神说祂是孤儿的父亲。神对我们的爱是伟大的。我们必须停止尝试按自己的规则或力量生活，回到神的怀抱。神正张开双臂等待我们。

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)

Introduction:

Typically, the parable of the prodigal son is interpreted from the viewpoint of the son, in today’s lesson we will see the story unfold through the eyes of the father. Jesus' parable demonstrates the qualities of a loving father. The qualities of a loving father can apply to all men who have acted as a father figure in our life; Fathers, Stepfathers, Grandfathers, Uncles, Teachers, Coaches and the list goes on. We can all have this type of loving relationship with our Heavenly Father.

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

Discussion Questions:

1. What did the father do when his younger son asked for his share of the estate? (The father fairly and generously divided his property between his sons.)

2. Did the father restrain his younger son when he wanted to leave? (No, the father wisely let his son strike out on his own.)

3. Did the father ever give up hope that his younger son may return one day? (No, the father patiently watched for the return of his son.)

4. What did the father do when he saw his younger son approaching from afar? (The father compassionately ran out to meet the son, and welcomed him back with a hug and a kiss.)

5. How did the father treat his young son upon his return? (The father treated him very graciously, although the son deserved nothing.)

6. Did the father ever quit loving his sons? (No, he showed his children true love, loving them through their best times and worst.)

7. How did the father treat the older son, who felt that that the younger son was getting special treatment? (The father was a peacemaker and lovingly explained the reason for the celebration to his older son.)

8. What characteristics do we see in the father? (Fairness, Generosity, Wisdom, Patience, Compassion, Grace, True Love and Peacemaker.)

APPLICATION (2 minutes)

Relationships with earthly fathers or father figures, as good as they can be, pale in comparison with the relation we can have with our Heavenly Father. Many of God's characteristics are seen in the father of the prodigal son. In Psalm 68:5, God says He is a father to the fatherless. God's love for us is great. We must quit trying to live life by our own rules or in our own strength and return to God. God is waiting for us with open arms.
