In today’s GB News Daily Reflection, we think about the importance of peace and reconciliation.Sometimes, it is better to win the person than win the argument and let the guard down.This is surely preferable to being “bitter, lonely and right in our eyes”.

00:00the chibi news daily reflection hi I'm Jordan and I'm a vicar in the Church of England this

00:11week we have been taking the time to journey through Jesus parable of the prodigal son we

00:18can all think of a TV plot line where someone excludes themselves from their community because

00:24of resentment and offense and it's the same in our story the prodigal son has returned after

00:33squandering his father's inheritance his father has restored him and thrown a party and invited

00:39everyone but now the older brother is offended by his father's lavishness towards his younger son

00:45the father comes out to plead with his older son who refuses to come in in his offense the

00:54older brother leaves himself on the outside while everyone else is inside celebrating sounds a bit

01:01like the old saying cutting one's nose off to spite one's face the father pleading with his son says

01:09but we had to celebrate and be glad because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again he

01:15was lost and is found and Jesus ends the parable there we don't know if the older brother does come

01:24in but perhaps sometimes it is better to win the person than win the argument and it is better to

01:32let the guard down and sue for peace and reconciliation than be alone on the outside bitter and angry and

01:40right in our own eyes
