March 23 ~ Things in the Bible not really in the Bible…and a few surprises

 

Oops of the Day  

In the story of “THE PRODIGAL SON”, the older brother should have forgiven his younger and lazy brother who finally came home.  And he should have forgiven their father for giving a party for his returned brother, even though their father never gave the hard-working older brother a party.

Luke 15:11-14 – Luke 15:22-25 – Luke 15:30-32

Fact of the Day

No!   It was much more than that.  It was jealousy, greed, and a desire for all or nothing.  As the oldest son, he was going to inherit their father’s entire estate (see v. 31), yet he resented one little party given to his brother.  Also, their father thought his youngest was dead; the older one acted as though he wished his brother was dead. This was a lesson in forgiveness on the part of everyone!
