Summary
We're going to go through this puzzle by building or this parable by building the outside, the perimeter of this parable first. You know, in chapter 14, we read as Jesus begins his teaching, we read in verse 25. Look with me, please, at the first part of verse 1 in chapter 16, then Jesus said to the disciples, there's another piece in that perimeter of our puzzle of this parable. We know that Jesus is speaking, we know who he's speaking to, and then let's complete the perimeter of our parable. Jesus, as he's sharing the parable of the prodigal son with the Pharisees or directed to the Pharisees and the scribes, he uses the word squandering that the younger son who had taken his inheritance, squandered his inheritance. And Jesus is saying, use your worldly goods, but for the time here, but act and use the treasure look to the treasure that awaits you, the real treasure.
