Bible Question:
Was the older brother correct in his actions (vv 28-32)? Explain. Why does the parable end without either brother taking action? |
Bible Answer: Hello, Is my opinion, I say that the elder brother was wrong in how he reacted to his father's actions, but I also see that it was a normal reaction and at his level he was also "bind" to samething. As the elder brother, he probably would have never done what his younger brother did(V. 15:30)because he understood whow hard they have worked(father/older b.)to have what they had when the "ignorant" one dicided he wanted to go and waste his part. In verse 30 the older brother refers to his younger brother in anger as .."this SON of yours arrived"...and his father, in a loving way, when he rebukes him about his actittude said in V.32.."this BROTHER of yours was dead"....If I was to write a V.33 it would have said.."forgive me father, I must go and welcome MY BROTHER back"... To me, the story is about a awesome father and his love for his children. Even when we messup. Ch 15:1 and 2 show us how horribly judgmental we can be sometimes. I thank God we can repent when the Lord convict us. I thank God for His mercy. |
