Hook: Two boys. Which is the good son and which is the bad son?
I. TWO LOST BOYS
"You can rebel against God and be alienated from him either by breaking his rules or by keeping all of them diligently.” – Tim Keller
II. THE FATHER'S GRACE
"I have taken all my good deeds, and all my bad deeds, and have cast them together in a heap before the Lord, and have fled from both to Jesus Christ, and in him I have sweet peace.” – David Dickson
Take-away: Christmas is grace! We are saved by believing, not by doing.
