Restoration: You Can Learn From A Pig
The story of the prodical Son teaches us the power of restoration. The meaning of restoration means to be brought back to existence. People have often been taught that if you fail you have to start again from the beginning. The story of the prodical son, gives us incite into the nature of the one who created us, the Father. The Father or the creator has this wayward son who takes his inheritance and squanders it. This wayward son finds himself eating with pigs. When he is eating slop with the pigs he remembers his fathers; riches and he humbly returns home. He figured that his father would have punished him. Instead of being punished, this Wayward son is brought back to his original position in the family. He is restored back into right standing with his creator or in his case his father. The love and solidarity between a father and son is restored. The Wayward son is handed ring and is adorn with a robe. The ring was a symbol of Authority and power. The robe was a symbol of ruler ship or kingdom. This wayward son was given both his seat and position in his fathers kingdom. He is also given the authority to render his power within his father kingdom. That is what I call restoration. When you come back home to your father or creator, you have the true ability and authority to step into a place and position that only you can fill.
