This video was recommended to me. Thank you for posting. The video brought up some further thinking: Simply put, the father was the picture of grace, the dutiful son, a picture of law. Upon his return and becoming a paid servant, the "prodigal" would be subject to the father AND his brother. (This son was also the owner of all that the father had: "You are always with me, and everything I have is yours," the father counseled.) The father's grace and the brother's law. The Pharisees might have been pleased. The prodigal, as the example for a disciple of Christ, was also the model Jesus presented, "Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death-even death on a cross!" (Phil. 2: 6-8).
