The prodigal and the elder son – Dick Hussey
Auchenheath Christian Fellowship 21-8-2016
Main features of this parable: true repentance and the Father’s great love, but extended to the often overlooked part of the elder son, SO NEAR, YET SO FAR – not knowing Father’s heart at all, I Corinthians 15: 34 pinpoints very vividly this possibility. They were baptized believer s who had received the ministry of the apostle Paul for over two years, spoke in tongues, etc. and yet, some of them DID NOT KNOW GOD.
