In the cultural context of the time, a son living with his father was a sign of familial loyalty and unity. This reflects the biblical theme of God's promise to never leave nor forsake His people, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/31-6.htm">Deuteronomy 31:6</a> and <a href="/hebrews/13-5.htm">Hebrews 13:5</a>. The father's assurance to the son can be seen as a type of God's assurance to believers of His unwavering presence and support.‘the father said,’ The father in this parable represents God, who speaks with authority and compassion. In the biblical narrative, God often communicates directly with His people, as seen in the Old Testament with figures like Abraham and Moses. The father's words are a reminder of God's personal and relational nature, emphasizing His desire to communicate and engage with His children.‘and all that is mine is yours.’ This phrase signifies the inheritance and blessings available to those who remain faithful to God. In the historical context, the firstborn son would typically receive a double portion of the inheritance, as outlined in <a href="/deuteronomy/21-17.htm">Deuteronomy 21:17</a>. However, the father's statement here suggests that the faithful son has access to all the father's resources, symbolizing the spiritual riches available to believers in Christ. This echoes the New Testament teaching that believers are co-heirs with Christ (<a href="/romans/8-17.htm">Romans 8:17</a>), sharing in the spiritual blessings and promises of God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_father.htm">The Father</a> Represents God, characterized by his love, patience, and generosity.

We need not, however, so take them. The words were literally true of the Pharisees, of Israel as a nation, of all who reproduce the Pharisee temper. All outward gifts that God could bestow, the covenants and the law, and the promises, outward ordinances of worship, and the instruction of wise men and scribes--these had all been given to Israel, as like blessings are offered now to all members of the visible Church of Christ, the great family of God. All that was wanted was the power to use these things rightly, as the Father wills, and therefore to enjoy them.All that I have is thine.--More literally, all mine is thine. <a href="/commentaries/luke/15-31.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>‘Son, Τέκνον (Teknon) Noun - Vocative Neuter Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_5043.htm">Strong's 5043: </a> A child, descendent, inhabitant.
