<p>15:18 <i>I will rise and go to my father, and will say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight</i>- His plan was to use the phrase &ldquo;I have sinned against heaven and against you&rdquo;- but this is almost quoting verbatim from Pharaoh&rsquo;s words of insincere repentance in Ex. 10:16 He still failed to grasp that he was his father&rsquo;s <i>son</i>- he didn&rsquo;t &lsquo;get it&rsquo;, that <i>this </i>would be the basis of his salvation, rather than a master-servant relationship with his father based on hard work. It was the father&rsquo;s amazing grace which swept him off his feet just along the street from his father&rsquo;s home; it was the father&rsquo;s unconditional acceptance of him which made him realize what sonship and repentance was really all about. &nbsp;</p>
