The Prodigal son

The story about the prodigal son is very famous, I never forget, God is the Father who love us. We know that the younger son returned to the Father, and the Father accepted him, but the elder son has a little problem to accept him. What happened next?

The two brothers must learned how to lived together, let the past be the past, we are not told how they lived together after the son returned, personally, I guess that the Father wanted them to live in peace, the younger son must behave like a younger son, and the elder must also take care of the younger son, three of them may live together happily, lets say, if they have quarrels, they eventually decided to reconcile because they respected their Father, they do not want to hurt their Father's feeling, they forgive each other, the ending is good, they live happily, joyfully, and as a family, the prodigal son must not forget he is forgiven for what he done, the Father gave chances for him, to learn, since the Father is kind and good, lovingly, the elder son must also accept the Father good will toward both of them. The elder son also must also behave in front of the Father, to love his younger brother.

Lets say, the younger son is a theologian, very eloquent, talkative, I know a theologian has great dignity, let say his personal view is not accepted by his elder brothers, so the younger son must behave like a younger son, for the sake of brotherhood, he has to reconcile with his brother, just say sorry, and lets reconcile, "I am sorry for being to harsh to you in defending my personal view, next time I will find a better view, I hope you can listen and accept my view ." Why, he must give in? Because he respected and loved his Father, so he has to forget his personal view, he must see the Father is still living, he is in control, so one day the Father will honor him, the Father said, my son is a good prodigal son, he is not "Kia su or losing face" I am proud of him, he is like my son, they must see what the Father wanted from them, to see the unity maintained in His family, other is secondary things, not necessary to quarrel about personal view, the two brothers must put unity in the higher place than personal view. Jesus said, "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." (Matthew 22:37)
