The Prodigal God Tim Keller Reference ro the paravle of the Prodigal son: We sentimentalize this parable if we do that. The tar- gets of this story are not “wayward sinners” but re- ligious people who do everything the Bible requires. Jesus is pleading not so much with immoral outsid- ers as with moral insiders. He wants to show them their blindness, narrowness, and self-righteousness, and how these things are destroying both their own souls and the lives of the people around them. It is a mistake, then, to think that Jesus tells this story primarily to assure younger brothers of his uncondi- tional love.
