considered what was going to happen he had already crossed the t's and dotted the eyes enough that he would know what was his portion so when he goes to dad i i want my portion the dad says okay there you go you already know what comes with this so the boy leaves took off now think of this story when he was now in the sin pit because for them to touch a pig meant you have transgressed the law now he stands up in the midst of the sin and says to himself my father's got servants that's better than this now hold on a minute what he was saying was my brother has servants cause i got my part and i left he stayed he had removed the process of his father in his mind and he had decided i will simply become a servant for my brother it was daddy that stepped in intercepted the church or intercepted the traveling path that he was on to say look now listen to this dad knew if i touch my boy with this pig stuff on him i will transgress the law as well sure but i go past that to let him know that i love him because if i love him through what he's been through i've got to demonstrate to the brother out in the field and all the servants you know lord don't let me start come on that's all right get
