Some one asked me this morning that if the elder brother represented the Pharisees then why does the Father call them sons?
The Israelites were always called God's first born but they refused to accept the younger brother, the gentiles. God had given them a portion but they refused to accept that portion. So I will ask the question, were they sons as we understand sonship of God?

I heard a speaker recently who used the example that the older brother was the one who thought that he knew how to run his father's business better than his father did.
To me, that sounds more like a pharisee .. one who knows God's will better than He does.
Thanks for that insight Kent.
