Fresh look at a familiar story. Younger, older brother both try own ways & fail. At center of all, a Father who loves lavishly, prodigally.
Sometimes it’s the simplest things that we need to be reminded about: Turning off the lights. Not leaving your bag behind. Why true salvation and fulfillment is only through God. In a story with only three characters, it does a rather complete job of describing us as people. There are the older brothers—those who try to find goodness by following a moral code, and the younger brothers—those who try to find goodness by following their own desires. Both fail. Goodness is only found in coming to God the heavenly father, and staying there.
