elder brother?

You are familiar with my story of the prodigal son. With whom do you identify in this story? Most people who are new in the faith see themselves as the prodigal, coming back to the Father for reconciliation and restoration after coming to their senses and turning away from sin. Do you still make this identification after being saved for many years? Do you ever become the older brother who was not pleased to have his brother return and receive undeserved favor? My word offers redemption for sinners. It also cautions those who lead a life of faith not to become self-righteous and judgmental.
