The Return of the Prodigal Son by Rembrandt Van Rijn, c. 1668 The parable of the Prodigal Son is the third of three parables in Luke 15, with the theme that Heaven rejoices for even one sinner who repents. Notwithstanding popular focus on its title character, the parable is in fact a nuanced and incisive story about relationships, redemption, justice and God s boundless love. These themes are the basis of Gatekeepers Re- entry program. November 20, 2018 GATEKEEPERS Bill Gaertner, Director
