Bebe's interpretation
The prodigal son’s words, “I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight,” capture the essence of true repentance. He came to the realization that his actions were not just offenses against others but against God. This realization of our sinfulness is a necessary step in returning to God. The confession, “I am no more worthy to be called thy son,” expresses the depth of humility needed in repentance. It is not about our worthiness but about God’s love and grace. When we come to Him with genuine repentance, He does not condemn us but welcomes us back with open arms. The story of the prodigal son is a powerful reminder that no matter how far we fall, God’s love is greater. When we return to Him with a repentant heart, He restores us to our place as His beloved children, not because of our merit, but because of His mercy.
