I’ve never really related to the story of the prodigal son. I’m not really rebellious or prone to wasteful spending. But there are two brothers in the story, and after rereading it, I really wish it was called “the prodigal sons.” Both were rebellious. One was just more obvious than the other. One was wayward. The other resentful. But it was the one with resentment who wound up being most resistant to the father in the end. He was so consumed with what his brother had taken, he couldn’t see the bigger picture of what the father was doing.
