      Jesus told the story of the Heaven, through the parable of a very rich man's two sons.

      The richest man in a town had a large land and many servants. People in the town envied the rich man of his having a great deal of possession that his sons might inherit from.

      One day, his youngest son came to his father and had the impudence to say,

      "Father, I want you to inherit from the portions of the possessions that I will have, now."

      The rich man was not pleased with what his youngest son said so. However, he gave the portion of the possessions to him, as he had wished. Then, the youngest son was delighted and ran away from the home, for a city, packing up all his possessions

      In a luxury city, he spent a idle time in eating, drinking, singing, and dancing with his friends. While doing so, he found lesser money to become penniless.

      At that time, there was a famine in the city. he had hard times in finding a job appropriate for him and had no money to maintain his livelihoods, which drove him to despair. Afterward, he managed to get a job that would take care of swine.

      On a dark night, he sat down in a corner of the swine house, and thought of his own situation, looking at the stars in the sky. All of his friends who had come to him, when he had much money, left and cannot contact him. Then, he was hungry. Seeing the fat swine oink, he felt pity for himself and shedded tears. After a while, he remembered the home of his father that had plenty.

      "Oh, the servants of my father's home is going to eat a lot of plenty. I am going to starve to death. I would rather be employed as a worker, than starve to death."

      He made up his mind to return home and ask for the forgiveness for his wrongdoing.

      Meanwhile, his father was always been yearning for his youngest son who had left home, and waited for him to return home. He kept worrying that his naive son would not take care of himself.

      Then one day, his father found his youngest son walking weakly from distance. The guy dressed in a plain robe looked skinny and awful. But. he must certainly be the youngest son who ran away from home.

      Upon seeing him, the father rushed upon the son and held him around his arms.

      "Father, Please forgive me. I don't deserve to be called your son." Let me work as a worker."

      The son sobbed around the chest of his father, saying so.

      Then, the father kissed him, and cried his servants out.

      "Guys, Bring the best clothes, ring and shoes, for him, here. Catch a fat calf and provide a feast. My youngest son who had been considered dead returned home."

      Working in the field, his eldest son heard the exciting music from home.

      So, he asked his servant.

      "What happened? What is the sound?"

      Then, the servant answered.

      "The second son came back home. So, your father was so delighted that he asked to provide a feast."

      The first son was enraged at providing a feast for his younger brother's coming back home.

      When the servant told his father that his eldest son was angry, the father came out of his home.

      Then, the eldest son said to the father, bursting into anger.

      'Father, How can you provide the feast for my brother who had squandered all the family fortune? "Have you ever caught even a little goat and provided a feast for me who have always been dedicating all my energy to working?"

      The father answered.

      "Dear Son! My possessions are already all yours. But it was almost as if your brother were raised from the dead. So, it is natural that I am glad.“

      (Luke 15:11-32)
