It seems lik...It definitely says that in my Bible.<br /><br />It seems like the father in the story was more of an "elder brother" rather than the father in the parable changed by the minister.<br />The parable of the two sons wasn't so much aimed at just for "sinners" but was targeted at the pharisees who were blinded by their own self righteousness.<br /><br />As I understand it, whenever I'm drawn to self-righteousness (which is often) I am taken back to the sheer grace of the gospel and that my sin against God is infinitely greater than anyones "sin" against me.<br /><br />Andy WAndy Williamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748617856836022817noreply@blogger.com
