The Older Brother

When the younger son returned home in humble repentance, his Father called for a great celebration. Upon hearing the music and dancing, the older brother became angry and questioned why there had been no such party for him. The heart of the older brother reveals the hypocrisy of the religious class in the time of Jesus as well as now. Many believe they are entitled to certain privilege and status based upon their long, external pattern of religious observance. This sense of entitlement only reveals that the older son is as lost as the younger son had been. Which son are you?
