grace, part deux

After several readings of the parable of the prodigal son (or the parable of the two lost sons as Tim Keller would say), I am relieved to find that Jesus reached out to the Pharisees as much as he did the tax collectors and prostitutes; older brothers as well as younger; good do-bees and bad do-bees; people who  are good at fasting and the ones who might have eaten a conversation heart while they were doing the laundry yesterday afternoon.
