Pharaoh, Judas & the Prodigal Son — Self-Pity, Remorse or Repentance?

In this episode of First Love, Dr. Robyn and Dr. Nathan Kassas, joined by special guest Dr. Tony Kassas, uncover three very different responses to sin through the lives of Pharaoh, Judas, and the Prodigal Son.

Discover how Pharaoh responded to outward pressure, offering temporary concessions when the consequences became unbearable; how Judas experienced inward pressure, overwhelmed by remorse but unable to return to Christ; and how the Prodigal Son responded to conviction, returning to his father and moving beyond regret into genuine repentance and restoration.

Explore why emotional pain is not always evidence of spiritual transformation, why feeling sorry does not necessarily mean turning from sin, and how true repentance produces a change of heart, direction, and relationship with God.

Scriptures: Exodus 9:27–35; Exodus 10:16–20; Matthew 27:3–5; Luke 15:11–24; 2 Corinthians 7:9–11; Acts 3:19
