In the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11–32, Jesus taught that the father would embrace, love, accept, and restore a person at their very worst; not when they are at their best.
It was the sin focused critical fault finding elder brother who desired to see his brother punished and rejected. Legalism is incapable of showing mercy and compassion.
