Discussion Questions: Luke 15:11-32

  1. Why is it important to keep the situation described to us in Luke 15:1-3 in mind as we seek to properly interpret The Parable of the Prodigal Son?
  2. The Parable of the Prodigal Son is a good name for this parable. What does the word “prodigal” mean? If we aren’t careful, How might the name mislead us? 
  3. Who does the younger son represent? What can we learn about sin and repentance from what is said about the younger son?
  4. Who does the father represent? What can we learn about God the Father from this parable?
  5. Who does the older son represent? What can we learn about sin (of another kind) and repentance from what is said about the older son?
  6. Where is Jesus in this parable?
  7. How will you apply this text of scripture to your life today?
