The Older Brother
Excerpt
The story now turns against the Pharisees, who like the older brother have no grasp of grace. Instead of rejoicing at the restoration of a brother, they’re filled with resentment. They neither appreciate what they have, nor do they want anyone else to share it!
How we need to guard against this attitude in our own relationship with God and with others. Grace must make us gracious.
