Dear friends,
This week's Lesson is built around the parable of the "Prodigal Son" and the three degrees in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.
Below is a video clip from the movie "Jesus of Nazareth" which shows this parable in a beautiful interpretation. It is about 12 minutes long.
This scene begins with a few of the disciples, Peter especially, frustrated because Jesus has agreed to go to dinner at Matthew’s house. (Capernaum’s tax collector). Peter hates Matthew because he takes advantage of the villagers and charges them extra money for the Roman taxes. Because Matthew is such a great sinner, entering Matthew’s home would make Jesus and any other Jew unclean.
This portraying of the Prodigal Son is not the way it happens in the Scriptures, but it is a beautiful possibility of how it could have happened and shows Jesus as the grand storyteller that he was.
