“The Licentious Son” (#2)
Monday, March 20, 2023
The novelist Charles Dickens called the parable of the prodigal son the greatest short story ever written. However, even though this parable is widely known and, frankly, a simple story, it is one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible. How can that be—what’s to misunderstand?

The Gospel According to Jesus (Hardcover)
What did Jesus mean when He said, “Follow me”? Twenty years ago John MacArthur tackled that seemingly simple question and provided the evangelical world with the biblical answer. For many, the reality of Jesus’ demands has proved thoroughly searching, profoundly disturbing, and uncomfortably invasive; and yet, heeding His words is eternally rewarding.
The 20th anniversary edition of MacArthur’s provocative book has revised and expanded the original version to handle contemporary challenges. The debate over what some have called “lordship salvation” hasn’t ended — every generation must face the demands of Christ's lordship. The Gospel According to Jesus remains eminently relevant for the Christian church, and intensely practical for every Christian.
