Forgiveness is a core value in the Christian tradition. Jesus said, "If you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you" (Matthew 6:14).

The story of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15:11-32 is a great parable of forgiveness, showing how a father forgave his youngest son when he returned home, even after the son had spent years away from home squandering money and sinning.
