We're all lost part 5

There’s one character who in the final story who never gets enough attention: The older brother. You can read about him here.

He’s just as lost as his rebellious brother. The only problem is that he’s too smug to realize it. He’s arrogant. He’s selfish. He’s got this entitled attitude.

Unfortunately, I think this way too often describes Christians and the church in America. I could say more, but I don’t really think I need to.

The thing that really blows me away is that the father does nothing to convince the older brother to come in to the party. I’m still thinking through this, but it’s as if he just lets the older brother miss out on the party.
