I had never thought to carefuly analyze the other son either and it was great to get that new layer of insight into the situation. I identify much more with the son who stayed home and felt indignant, and so this parable has more impact with me now. I know that before I was Christian I felt like I should get some consideration for trying to do the right thing. I didn't realize until now that my attitude was a way of saying, "I did the right thing, so now I have the authority to decide what God should and shouldn't accept in people. God should agree with me and look favorably upon me because I'm a good person." wow my pastor JUST did a sermon on this last week for Easter!
