prodigal brother

The elder son didn't have compassion it seems. But the elder son have yet to encounter his brother. Probably, if he had seen his brother first before the song and dance, he would have wanted his brother to return back to the father. Because his brother had suffered much,  he has died. He was probably gaunt,  lost, emaciated, lifeless.  If he had seen that, the way the father saw,  he would have wanted an even bigger celebration for his brother. So let us encounter our brothers. Especially those who are lost. That we may truly desire to bring the home.
