Poor pitiful Christians barely scrape by. Poor pitiful Christians survive but rarely thrive in their spiritual lives. Poor pitiful Christians live defeated, discouraged lives. If you believe a poor pitiful Jesus Gospel, and live a poor pitiful Christian life, then I have good news for you. There is more!

I have good news if your life is an ordeal instead of an adventure. There is more! I have good news if you've resigned to hopelessness. There is more. Today we are going to see that we can have hope.

If you understand Jesus to be information to be learned instead of a person to have a relationship with, then this morning I have good news for you. There is more. Jesus is a real person that you can really know and have a real relationship with. And when you have a relationship with Jesus, that changes everything.

My friends, if you view Christianity as a self-help philosophy, or a harsh religious system, then I have good news for you today. There is more! Christianity is about a life changing relationship with Jesus Christ who came to give us life, and life more abundantly (John 10:10).

The mindset of the older brother prevents him from being able to enjoy being his father's son. He never seemed to have enjoyed serving his father, or working with his father. In the older brother's mind, his life was one of bondage and not freedom, duty and not joy. The reaction of the other brother is pretty terrible but I wonder if his reaction/mindset is really all that unique. I'm fairly convinced that one thing that keeps people bound up and unable to experience the freedom Jesus came to give is that they have the same mindset that the other brother had.
