He Came to Himself
Luke 15Slide2
God is calling the Prodigal
SongSlide3
Luke 15:11-24
11
And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12
And the younger of them said to his father,
Father
, give me the portion of goods that
falleth
to
me. And he divided unto them his living.
13
And not many days after the younger son
gathered
all together, and took his journey into a far country
,
and there wasted his substance with riotous living.Slide4
14
And when he had spent all, there arose
a
mighty famine in that land; and he began
to
be in want.
15
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country
;
and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16
And he would fain have filled his belly with
the
husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.Slide5
17
And when
he came to himself
,
he said
,
How many hired servants of my father's
have
bread enough and to spare, and I perish
with hunger!
18
I will arise and go to my father, and will
say
unto
him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19
And am no more worthy to be called thy son
:
make me as one of thy hired servants.Slide6
20
And he arose, and came to his father. But
when
he was yet a great way off, his father saw him
,
and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21
And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned
against
heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22
But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe,
and
put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:Slide7
23
And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it
;
and let us eat, and be merry:
24
For this my son was dead, and is alive again
;
he was lost, and is found.
And
they began to be merry.Slide8
How do we get people to ‘come to themselves’..?
1. Some things you can do for others. Gal.6:10
2. Some things others can do for you.
Casting all your burdens upon him, for he
careth
for you.” I Pet.5:7
Bear ye one another’s
burdens..Gal
. 6:2
3. Some things you must do yourself.
Gal.6:5Slide9
Some things all Christians need ..
1. We need to beware
1. I Cor.10:12
2. 2 Cor. 13:5
2. We need to face the truth: The sad fact that many of those converted, return to the World.
1. G
al
. 4:9-11
2. 2
Pet. 2:20-22Slide10
What this man needed to do, manymust do the same.~~
“
He
Came
To
Himself”Slide11
What does it take to get people to
“come to oneself”?Slide12
He learned that the choice he had made
was a bad one
. He left home! Luke 15:13
Verse 13 “And not many days after (he had his inheritance)
The younger son gathered all together ,journeyed to a far country,
He got away from his father and all the family!
All of us have to make choices in life:
Joshua
24:15 Choose you this day
Ez
. 18:20 The soul that
sinneth
it shall die.Slide13
He wasted his
posessions
with
riotious
(loose) living
. V. 13
Ever been broke! Flat broke! Didn’t have anything.
Hopefully, it was not poverty by ‘
riotious
“ living.
1. Warned against drunkenness!/ So many spend it all. I Cor. 6:9-11
2. Warned against sexual immorality. Gal.5:19-21
3. Warned against drugs. Matt.15:19-20
It would be easy to waste your living, or inheritance with
‘
riotious
living”
zSlide14
He learned what it was like to
be hungry,
downtrodden
..and
seemingly
no
one cared
.
No Friends
now..all
the money is gone.
No Family…far away from them.
Destitute in a land where no wants you, or cares for you
.
The
opposite is true with God’s people.
They share with each other
. Gal. 6:10;
Psa.
37:25Slide15
He learned that what you sow, that is what you reap.
Gal. 6:7,8Slide16
But
He
remembered the ‘good ole days
’.
In my Father’s house.
He knew what it was like now to be outside of the
Family.
I Tim. 3:15. How many miss so much…a memory of a good home,
Proper bringing up, and (Prov. 22:6) would be so valuable.
How
many have lost their children to the world…but when they
Finally come to themselves…they remember!Slide17
He came to himself…and did something
about it.
It is sad to give in to sin.
Rom.3:23 which we all do.
All of us, yea all who are capable of sinning. Have sinned. Rom. 6:23.
This young man, got up, and did something about it.
“I will go to my father…and he went”!
He didn’t do it until he ‘came to himself.”Slide18
Outside of God’s
family, you have
nothing.
What can the devil offer you?
Yes, he offered an alternative to doing what God said to
Adam and Eve.
Gen. 3:1ff
And they listened and turned to
to
the devil..
Instead
of God.
They
died!. You will too…if you don’t come to yourself
And get right with God! Slide19
He came to Himself
Have you? Have I?
To see your loved ones sick, and dying…that should
Cause you to ‘come
to yourself
”
But, to know, that you have a Friend
in Jesus
, who
Loves you
more than anyone else you know..
…who
has paid the
Price for your sins and mine…why would you refuse
Him
.? Rom.5:8,9; Rom. 6:16-18
Your mother can’t do it for you, your dad can’t do it for you.
Your wife cannot do it for you, your children
. your
parents…Slide20
What rejoicing! Luke 15:22-24
Put on Him the Best Robe!
Put on him a ring on his hand!
Put on him sandals on his feet!
Kill the fatted calf
And let us eat and be merry!
My son which was dead, is now alive again!
He was lost and his found! Slide21
“I have found my sheep that was lost!”
Luke 15:1-10
What rejoicing in Heaven over
One sinner that
rejoiceth
rather
Than 99 just persons that need no
Repentance!
