When the prodigal son received grace, the older son's response revealed a condemning, vengeful attitude. Like a Pharisee, he appeared to be loyal and loving on the outside, but inside his heart was opposed to his father's values. Pharisees are alive and well today, and if we look close enough we might find one in our own families. We must do what we can to confront his or her “older brother attitude” with gentleness and grace.

Luke 15:25-32
