This past week I’ve heard the story of the prodigal son from two different speakers and they both brought great new insight to this already profound story. Maybe we might be able to relate with the younger son who ungratefully asked for his inheritance and recklessly spent it all on useless things. Some of us might be able to relate with the father who worried deeply for his young son whom he described as dead and lost and constantly hoping that he would come to his senses. And perhaps some of us might be able to relate with the older brother who felt like he had faithfully served the father without being appreciated for the hard work.
