Miller Chapel
Scripture: Luke 15:25-32
… we had to celebrate and rejoice
The parable ends with an invitation for the elder brother to join in the celebration and joy, but we don’t know if he finally chose to repent of his sense of righteous anger and do that. So, it is left to the current, self-righteous, elder siblings to complete the story. Ironically, we pride ourselves on the carefulness of our choices, but in in the end the only choice that matters is entering into the joyful fellowship that is built only upon God’s choice to be merciful.
