When he "comes to himself" and goes home, he has eyeball to eyeball confrontation with his father. He mentions that he not only sinned against him, but recognizes his offense against God as well. He is sobered and humble. And the beautiful nature of our compassionate God is revealed. A Father, waiting with open arms to forgive. And when the other son has a bit of a jealousy issue, bewildered at his father's response, we see the gravity of the situation from which his brother had been pulled..."he was lost, and is found!" I love listening to this account read by Alexander Scourby on our scripture tapes. It is thrilling. I love the account of the prodigal son for bringing this idea home.
