Parable of the two sons

So much of my life, I saw the first sons issue as the riotous living and squandering of the inheritance

But the son’s real issue was his heart, the heart that drove him to ask his father for his inheritance in the first place

Why doesn’t the father ask him where he’d been? why doesn’t he scold the boy? because the outer actions are only the symptom. The heart was the disease

And the entire point of that parable is that both sons have the same heart

One leads to riotous living, the other to prideful law keeping, but they share the same heart.
