THE BIBLE'S STORY & THE PARABLE "LIKE FATHER... LIKE SON."



Junior comes from out of town to visit his father (John 1:29) (Matthew 5:17), only to discover his pop surrounded by police, businessmen, and lawyers (Ephesians 6:12).
"What’s going on?” Junior demands.
"They're taking my home." His father says reluctantly (John 10:10).
"Give ME the debt!” The son yells toward the just-business environment (Isaiah 53:3).
The nosy crowd is astonished, including the father.
"But," the bankers replies, "this is not your problem!” (John 18:35)
The son stands his ground until the banker finally gives in (Luke 22:42). And, with the bill now in junior's name, the son simply reaches in his pocket and pays it off, cash (Isaiah 53:10). And immediately after, many witness the banker and the son wink at each other. To this day, spectators wonder, "Did the banker secretly arrange for this well-timed rescue?" (I John 1:21) (Psalm 22:30).

EPILOUGE
Imagine what happens next in the beginning parable. After the son rescues the father from a financial debt, the banker returns to his wealthy estate (Revelation 22:1). Almost simultaneously, the son’s hometown is calling for his return (Revelation 1:7). However, before he leaves his beloved father, he arranges a private meeting with him. The son provides the man with his 24-hour telephone number (Hebrews 13:5), an account manager (John 14:26), and a set of 66 books all inside one "Good Book" advising him on how to spend, save, and stay out of "debt.” The Bible is an arousing combination of plots for love, mystery, drama, horror, and non-fiction. Despite the many script changes, the Narrator stays the same.
