It shows how easily we can read scripture through a lens, only seeing what we want to see.

I think this passage reminds me of the prodigal son. I've never been a fan or that parable because I sympathize with the older son who never gets a party for doing all the right things. However when I read this passage today I was reminded that it's not how you start or where your journey leads but how it ends that truly matters.
