Descripción de The Parable of the 2 Brothers

Imagine if someone came up to you and started talking about the movie Titanic and said oh I love that movie it was such an amazing story of a beautiful boat and how everyone got rescued. It was so cool how Jack and Rose were able to be together, get married and have kids. You would look at them and ask them if they actually watched the whole movie or whether they just watched the first half. The whole point of this movie is about the tragedy of loss and how Jack and Rose didn’t get together and how the boat sank and almost everyone was lost. Without watching the ending to most movies you could come to the exact opposite conclusion than what the director or the storyteller was going for. On this night of the Oscars we look at one of the most powerful stories ever told by Jesus. And yet most of Christian history has missed the ending and somehow walked out of the theater before the movie was over. This week we look at the most misunderstood and misnamed parables of Jesus – the story of the “two brothers”. Traditionally the church has called it the prodigal son parable. But the younger brother is merely the set up for the real part of the story which is the engagement of the older brother. This story is for those of us who consider ourselves spiritual. It’s not for the lost or the prodigals or the broken. Those people have no problem coming into the party and having a drink with the Father.
