The Prodigal Son's Father's Graciousness Toward the OLDER Brother
The prodigal son's father could have come out and rebuked the older brother for his ugly attitude and rebelliousness in refusing to join the party. But Luke 15:28 says the father, "came out and entreated [the older son]." Most translations say he pleaded with him. Think about what it took for the father to minister to the older brother:
• He had to leave the celebration
• He had to leave the other guests
• And he had to leave the younger brother
When we read this parable, we tend to think about the father’s grace and patience toward the younger brother, but he was equally gracious and patient toward the older brother.
