Theme: The Restoration of Hope
In a certain kingdom, there was a very wealthy king. This king was known to be very generous, merciful and just. He never compromised anything for evil and always maintained his subjects were disciplined. He was comfortable but his only problem was that he had no heir to his throne. This caused him so much distress until he adopted a little boy who grew up as his son and became the heir to the throne.
He provided everything possible to make life comfortable for the heir in the palace. The king made him little less than himself and gave him the freedom to do everything except to sit on the king’s throne until he was crowned king. He also ordered all his servants to obey the prince.
One day while the king was asleep, some foreign visitors came to see the king and a servant suggested to the prince to appear as the king and attend to the visitors since he was the heir to the throne. The prince clothed himself as the king and attended to the visitors. When the king learnt of this, he was enraged and sent the son away. He lost the hope of inheriting the kingdom and became sick. As he roamed on the streets hopelessly, he was taken hostage by some enemies where he suffered severely. Learning of his miserable condition, the king took pity on him and sent his chief servant to bring to the son the good news of forgiveness, deliverance and restoration. Imagine the joy this son would have on seeing the messenger advance towards him with a message of hope.
