The parable of the prodigal son illustrates the difference between living the Christian life by law and by grace. The question is: Will I set the course of my life to become more like the father, or the older brother? Will I grow up to live from the power of grace, freedom and love, or will I grow up seeking power from the law, judgment and pseudo-righteousness? Explore this tension between law and grace. There is a major difference between living up to the grace we’ve been given and living out of the grace we’ve been given.
