Episode 278: AUDIO; CHRIST'S GLORIOUS GIFTS TO SAVED SINNERS

Revisiting Luke 15's parable of the prodigal son, we examine the symbolism of the four gifts father bestows on his shamed and repentant son when he returns in humility to cast himself on his father's mercy. We examine these four gifts; the robe of royalty; the ring of authority, sandals (worn only by the privileged), and the fatted calf (killed only when the firstborn son marries). We see how these gifts foreshadow the spiritual riches conferred upon all who trust savingly in Christ ... the robe of Christ's righteousness; the spiritual wedding-ring that unites us to Christ; the sandals that denote our walk with Christ; and the faith by which we feed upon Him daily.
