The Other Prodigal Son 

Being a military man 28 years of my life has made me tough and I rarely shed tears, but this story softened me today and I did just that. Thank you Elder Holland.

I always looked at the elder sons trial a little differently than jealousy. I interpreted his sentiments as too guarded. When someone you love lets you down too often or cuts you deep enough, it's hard to let your guard down and open your heart to them again. Sometimes those prodigals sons "come back" for a short time then tear another wound into the hearts of those who have let them in again. Perhaps the most painful thing for the elder son to bear was the idea that the his younger would break their father's heart again and the elder son would have to again try to mend the pieces back together. The world would support and condone the elder brother in his beliefs, but the Savior offers a better path. Either way you look at it, the elder son needed healing power from the atonement in order to find peace just as the prodigal son did.

Really needed this today. My son has been gone 4 years, still waiting for him to come home. This video brought tears to my eyes. I hope my heart is ready and willing to forgive if he ever comes home.

At some point we will all be one of these 3 characters. The dad who forgives and welcomes, the brother who forgives and drops the ego, or the prodigal who needs to humble and come home.

"The green-eyed monster of jealousy" This parable teaches on how to overcome it. And love others as Christ loves us ♥

A message that my heart needed to hear today. The Lord loves us and we don't need to compete for his love and acceptance. All he wants from us is to love him, the way to do it is loving others, specially those people that are hard to love.

It’s hard to be the ‘other son’, it’s hard to see everyone praying for and worrying about the lost one, and you pray for them too. When they come back you’re genuinely happy they did. But it’s hard because no one celebrated all those years you kept to the straight and narrow.

Thank you, Brother Holland, for putting your voice to this wonderful message. Truly a video many can learn from too.

This is something I struggle with, and this video has helped.

I had to watch this again today to remind myself that we are ALL on our journey back to our Father and each of our courses are different and varied, but we all have the same goal.

I love these! they always help me understand the conference talks WAY more! With a video to help me SEE it instead of Listen to it. Seeing helps me understand way better than reading, and listening. Thank You So Much!

The best video give it a thumbs up for Jesus Christ

I love this story from the scriptures. The Savior's teachings are the best. He knows how to touch hearts and heal them. Thank you Elder Holland for your insight!

I always wanted an extension of this parable, and so glad it came, from Elder Holland too. I really relate to the elder brother in the parable when I read it in the scriptures. And I’m glad envy was addressed here.

Thank you again, Elder Holland, and whomever else helped with this video!

Love Jesus for what he has done for us 🙏🙏👼🙏🙏🙏

This video reminder me how is important being humble and abide of compassion. Gospel is compassion and true love. very inspiring

What a great message to help heal family issues by allowing our hearts to heal!

MY SMILE 😊 IS BIGGGG.... JESUS IS LORD!❤️

a very good message from the Elder Holland. To imagine this situation in my life is now...My brother is no more. but my brother and me were very good friends . We played each other and worked each other and enjoyed each other. But now ....

to me this is a reminder that I ought to work on improving myself first.

""GREAT'' This story of "The other Prodigal son '' is really beautiful , ultimatelty at the end ALL ARE HAPPY & ALL ARE AT PEACE IN CHRIST. and that's the beauty. GOD BLESS YOU ALL TEAM MEMBERS FOR PREPARING THIS VIDEO.

God teaches us to love your family, neighbors, and enemies, so that you may understand on why are they hated or jealous, amen

Excellent video and wonderful principles taught. None of us are perfect and will all fall short in life. Am grateful we can all be forgiven and given an opportunity to learn from our mistakes and find true joy. Thank you for this video

My heart was touch. I never thought theres a deep explanation for this. Thank you! ❤

Amazing lesson. Who has not been jealous or felt marginalized. This lesson helped me and my family for the better.

Beautiful message. Thank you for sharing this.

I have always thought about this... seeing through the son who stayed.

I needed to hear this message. As always, Elder Holland is spot on.

I want to watch a video like this even 2 times daily... Its lovely..... God bless you......

Excellent message. God bless you.

We need to humble our self, this can only be done with the wisdom, peace and love that only our heavenly father can provide.

Great message

The greatest challenge is not from the devil, but from the one we love the most. We are the winner, not because we have conquered the enemy, but we have conquered ourselves.

This is a blessing for me and my family

I really needed this message today ❤️❤️

This make my heart feel softened

i feel like i learned even more of gods love for me through that video and i am not discouraged on his love

I am young but i understand this and loved the message

Keep making these wonderful videos.

My best Sunday School teaching topic that i am so passionate about when i teach the teenagers in the Church. The Words of Jesus Christ Himself. The Love of the Father towards the lost son. God bless you.

Great story all should learn.

The parable of the pick up. Only on the Mormon channel ; I love your work.

This is my favorite church video to date.

Fantastic ! Praise the Lord . God bless your Church . Amen

i cried the whole time watching this 😭 thank you elder! ❤

BLESS the Lord

Really good video! About the prodigal son!! With Elder Jeffrey R. Holland narrating!!!! I just love him!!!! Love this story & love this take on it!!! Thank you very much!!!

Such a timely message.

Beautiful message to all of us!

I love this version of the parable

Love one another. Such a simple Commandment so easily forgotten....

" God have Mercy upon me Please, amen."

Always have liked ELDER HOL. insight. This, is one of my Fav. Stories of the Bible because the Father was nothing like my Father. MY, DAD would hav totlly disowned me& never looked back!!!!!

Beautiful Story

When you withhold forgiveness for someone, it is like taking poison and expecting your enemy to die. It is one of the most harmful things we can do to our soul just because we sin differently than someone else. This is a great message that anyone from any faith can learn a lot from. Truth is truth regardless of your religion. This message is one of the great truths. Thank you for sharing this!

Wonderful message. Love one another

My Ma and Pa from youth conference taught my family this last year. My family thought that we deserved a victory of a series of games that we had played against others families. When another family received the grand candy prize due to some unknown technicalities, my family was pretty upset and jealous that they got the prize we thought we deserved. My Ma and Pa taught us that night that our situation was similar to that of the elder brother's. We didn't take in what they were trying to teach us. It wasn't until later that I let my resentment go and understood their point.

Thank you Jesus for love it will hide a.lots of hurt when you truly love from your heart let's love one another more and more each and every day

Amenn Jesus Lord !!!

I want to watch this video on my whole day, the bigest lesson have never learned

It is good and heartwarming to

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 Mother Mary Pray For Us 🙏Abba Father Bless us and we Adore You 🙏

I love Jeffery Holland. He is truly an prophet of God.

Amén God is wise

Pais aos filhos pródigos abrace os e o receba com todo amor e carinho e protege os de todo o mal

What a beautiful story

2022AD!! Praises to God!

This is such a good story. I have heard of the parable of the Prodigal son but I never thought about how the other son might feel about this.

I do not believe in god, but I think this sends a good message. Not that god loves us all equally, but WE should love all equally even under the circumstances.

First time I heard anyone talk about the eldest son as a prodigal but then forgiving.

Hello dear brother or sister in christ. I want to say,that whatever you are going through, jesus is with you,no matter what happend,jesus is with you. Call to the lord,and he will answer you! I wish you peace n love ! May god bless you!!! 💞

This video opened my eyes to this story and the application of it. Very few of us remember the other son (or daughter, in application).

great story! awesome picture at the end with all them togather

A mrssage that binds us together in Gofs ptesence and love. Amen

Luke chapter 15 is all about bringing the lost ones and rejoicing when they are back.

I really love it ❤️💖

Awesome!

Love this ❤️

Love it!!!

I love being a Mormon!

Love it

Great video!!!!!!

LOVE

Excellent video with excellent acting.

It was good that he located himself to his Dad's house and they found him

nicely done

This video makes me desire that I had a brother or at least have two sons and be a proud dad

I do admit that there have been, are ones in my life that I've had to pray that God would help me to love them, I wouldn't call hate that I felt, but it wasn't love either! I'm doing a lot better. Amen! 💐❤🌹💙🍄💚🌸💞💛🌹💜🌸💙💐💜

I feel so much pain

Beautiful. Also, the thumbnail makes this look like Mission Impossible: Holy Ghost Protocol

All I could say to this video is “wow”

i love this video

Nice, I enjoyed this.

Jesus Christ is Lord! God manifested in the flesh 🙌

Blessed 👍

The best!

Best video ever!

I think I'm the older brother more than the younger.
