Two different sons The third difference was their actions in response to adversity. The younger son actively made changes by himself. He confessed that he had dishonored his father and was no longer worthy to be called his son. He was willing to be a hired servant of his father to make up for his mistakes. He realized his mistakes, and corrected it. He grew in adversity. Compared to the younger sons, the older son could not accept the celebration for his younger brother and rejected to attend it. However I think he would follow his father’s command as he did before. Besides, he would forgive his younger brother at last, because he would understand his father’s words, "You are always with me, and everything I have is yours.” I’d like to point out that although they took different actions, they both wanted their father’s acceptance.

Two different sons The second difference was their attitudes towards adversity. The younger son was more willing to make changes according to the situation, and take responsibility for his mistakes. When he ran out of his money, he went back home and took the initiative to admit his mistakes. He was independent, and was willing to think where he went wrong when he was in adversity. The old son was different. He was jealous and angry over his father's celebration of his brother's return and complained bitterly that his father had never held such a feast for him. He tried to find his brother’s sins and contrasted with his ‘righteousness’, and accused his brother stubbornly and casually. The younger son totally changed his situation because of his active attitude to confess his fault, but the older son was unwilling to change and self-righteous.

Two different sons The two sons differed in at least three aspects. The first difference was their initial characters. The younger son was selfish, and longed for free and wild life, so he left home regardless of accusation from people. He instigated the early division of the family estate, which showed his was rebellious and proud disregard for his father's authority. He was only noticed at present enjoyment, without any regard for the future. On the contrary, the older son was rigid to his life and work, and faithful to his father’s commands. Nonetheless, we should also see his lack of love for his brother. When his brother was to leave, he didn’t try to stop him. The younger son was rebellious and seek ease and comfort at the beginning, and the older son was more submissive but out of love for others.

Two different Sons The Bible says, “I am the God who forgives your sins, and I do this because of who I am”. The parable of the prodigal son shows us what grace is. In that story, father was just like God; the younger son referred to people who stayed far away from God, but eventually confessed his sins and back to God; the older son referred those who looked down others as sinners and self-righteousness. The two son had the same father and grew up in the same village，but it was clear that they were mostly very different.
