This past Sunday, Dr. Christopher Passalacqua, one of Grace Gospel Fellowship's elders, broke down the parable of the prodigal son.--In this highlight, we look at the brother, a very different character than that of the son. The brother represents those who believe they can follow the law- he was jealous, angry, and self-righteous. He found discontentment as he compared himself to the son. He felt as though he deserved celebration, he felt as though he had earned it----The older brother has not lost anything- he has two-thirds of his father's inheritance coming to him, yet he's discontent- he's in the business of comparison. It's hardcore that someone who thinks that they can maintain the law believes they are better than those of us that know we can't. That self-righteousness is a venom onto itself, and all venom is poisonous.-
