Congratulations! You have finished the lesson. You’ll find all the links for each part of the lesson again at the bottom of this page.

Though it may be very important for you to learn English, it is more important for you to learn what God says in his Word about how much He loves us, and how He wants us to live and love others. Think about these questions from the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Write the answers in your notebook, in English or in your native language. Discuss them with a friend, or with your English class.

I hope this lesson about the Parable of the Prodigal Son has helped you to understand more English and more of God’s Word! See you in the next lesson!
