The Prodigal Returns

John Zimmer at Letters from Babylon has a great post, The Prodigal Brother contemplating my favorite parable of Jesus: the prodigal son. There are a couple of major lessons in the parable, one for the son and one for the brother. The son's lesson is about receiving God's love and forgiveness, and the brother's lesson is about extending God's love and forgiveness to others. They are both hard lessons to really learn and understand.
