I had to prepare some sharing on the parable of Prodigal Son last Sunday. My son saw and he asked, "What does 'prodigal' means?" Oh. I always thought I know, but I realized I could not answer him. So I checked the dictionary and found from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary that it means "squander, recklessly spendthrift, or positively, yielding abundantly".
Then the next thing he remarked was, "I always thought that the title is 'The Prodigal's Son'. But now I know it is 'The Prodigal Son'".
The Prodigal's Son. The Prodigal Son. Who is the prodigal? The son or the father?
