Luke 15 is about leaving one's family, squandering money on riotous living and then receiving redemption. It also presents one of the greatest examples of unconditional forgiveness ever recorded in human history. It is the famous parable of "The Prodigal Son", found in Luke 15: (14-31) in the Holy Bible.

Jesus Christ was a master teacher. He taught in many ways: parables (interesting stories with a meaningful point), precepts (short and profound statements of Truth), miracles (visible results of divine action) and general observations (containing sacred wisdom). He shared his revolutionary message with large crowds, like at the Sermon on the Mount and in the Temple at Jerusalem. He also engaged in one-on-one instruction, such as with the Samaritan woman at the well in his discourse on the "living water".
