context-
Preceded by the lost coin and lost sheep
what is different among this and the other parables?
more detailed
rebellion more intentional
rebellion is even offensive - considered as dead
father’s love and concern runs completely counter to the culture of honor and shame
father would be even more “shamed” by running - exposing his legs.
repentance of the rebellious son is genuine - “not worthy to be called your son”
disdain of the older son - seems to mirror the attitudes of the religious elites
how often are we like that? treating with contempt those who have been saved from great depths by grace?
Which are we - the older, younger, or the father?
