In RE year 1 have been wondering what Christians believe God is like. We've been learning the parable of the Prodigal Son and know that Jesus told stories to try to explain to people what God was like. In the parable, the son goes away and behaves very badly but soon feels very unhappy and just needs to go home. He is worried about going home because of what his father might say but when he does finally get home his father is so happy to see him that he throws a big party. Christians believe that God loves people, even if they're sometimes naughty.
