“Sin always promise more than it can give”   Matthew 15:11-20   Don't let the green grass fool you!

 “The Parable of the Prodigal Son”    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 divided unto them his living  13:  And not many days after the younger son gather all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

“Don’t let the green grass fool you. The younger son asks his father for his share of his estate, which would have been half of what his older brother would receive in other words 1/3 for the younger 2/3 for the older.  Though it was within his rights to ask, it was not a loving thing to do, as it implied that he wished his father dead. Instead of rebuking his son, the father patiently grants him his request.  This is a picture of God letting a sinner go his own way.  He took his inheritance and went to a far country.  It is evident from his previous actions that he had already made that journey in his heart, and the departure was a display of his ungratefulness to all the goodness his father had offered.  So as a man think, so is he.  This is compared to how we take God goodness, grace and loving kindness for granted. Before long all that he had was gone and he hit rock bottom. The grass may look greener on the other side, don’t let what might seem greener to fool you.  Sin always promise more than it can give.
