POSITIONAL VALUE 

***************************

LUKE 15 : 11 - 24 - Bible Study. 

Have you noticed? 

When the younger son was away from his father and joined 

himself to a citizen of another place, the owner considered 

him worthy only of feeding the swine; Further, the master 

gave more value to the swine than the younger son by not 

giving even the swine pod to him to eat. Even his hard work did not get any recognition!

Position: 

Away from the father; remaining in sin!.

Value: 

Not worthy to eat even the swine pod.

But, when the younger son came back, even before he finished his confession, the father instructed his servants to kill the fatted calf; the father not even allowed the son to call himself a servant but called him 'my son'!. 

That too, after the loss of possessions

by the prodigal living of the younger son!. Even the heavy material loss did not stop his recognition!

Position: 

Close to the father; repenting from sin.

Value: 

Worthy to eat at the table of the father; because of this 

younger son's repentance, even the servants can get a special and satisfying meals!

Dear friend, 

Your position defines your value; 

Feeling worthless, deceived, inferior and longing for the swine pod?.

Check your position!.

You may think that you are not away from the Father but because of some unconfessed sin you may be away from HIM!.

The longing for swine pod indicates that!.

Come back!. 

Know and acknowledge your position in CHRIST!

HE only can satisfy our longings!
