When Grace Creates Resentment | Luke 15:11–32 | Fr. Wilbens Josias

In this powerful and thought-provoking message, Fr. Wilbens Josias teaches from Luke 15:11–32, the parable of the prodigal son, revealing how God’s grace can sometimes create resentment in the hearts of others. Through this familiar passage, we see not only the love and mercy of the Father but also the struggle of the older brother, whose reaction exposes the dangers of pride, comparison, and misunderstanding of grace. This sermon challenges us to examine our own hearts. Do we truly rejoice when others receive God’s grace, or do we struggle with resentment? Are we living in the freedom of grace, or holding on to self-righteousness? Be encouraged to embrace God’s grace fully and to reflect His love with humility, compassion, and forgiveness. ⸻ Welcome to the official YouTube channel of Bethany Community Church.
