Sample question
In the parable of the prodigal son, what does the father order to be brought when his son returns home?
"And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate."Luke 15:23
The fattened calf — kept specifically for a major celebration — is part of three quick gestures of restoration: the best robe, a ring (signaling restored sonship), sandals (signaling free man, not slave), and a feast. The father isn't reluctantly forgiving; he's running, embracing, and celebrating before the son finishes his rehearsed apology.
