Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them. "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living."
When living in rebellion against the father, he was still living off the riches of the father.
Imagine this rebellious son throwing a party - someone asks him "where did you get such fine wine?" - would he have said "I bought it with my father's wealth."?
When we have lived in rebellion against God, we were still his beneficiaries.
Even now, after my redemption, it is so easy to see the "wealth" I have as mine and not as His provision!
