Journeying Home to the Father - 2021 Lenten Conference 3 - The Invitation
Conference 3: The Invitation - Resistance and Humility
On the other side of this beautiful encounter between the father and the younger son is the elder son who stands to the side. This elder son who has stood by the father’s side all this time becomes confused as to how the father could so easily take his younger brother back in and be so happy after all that he has said and done to them. The father invites the elder son to rejoice and celebrate with them but he is met with resistance. What does the father do? What does the elder son do? Why does it matter?
