nope, did not miss anything.
God created man, both sons were totally underserving.. the man offered the gift to one son, and did not even offer it to the other.. neither deserved it, so either neither should have been offered it, or they both should have been offered it. anything else would make the father an unfair, unloving and unjust father.
you see the fair thing woul dhave been offering both sons the gift. it does not mean both would recieve.
One may repent and admit he did all those wrong things to his father and does not deserve it. but thanks him anyway, The other may not repent and say I don;t care what you have, I hate you, and I do not want anything you have to offer. I am better off on my own, because I know what is right for me.
in this senario, the father is righteous, and just and loving. The one who recieved it, did nto earn it, he just trusted his father. the other rejected his fathers gift (even though it was an amasing offer no one should turn down) due to the hate he had for his father
