Can we just talk about Joseph? I don’t mean Jesus’ earthly father I mean Joseph; Jacob’s son, one of the tribes etc. He was SOLD by his BROTHERS.. betrayed. I can’t help but think of Christ when I read Joseph’s story. To think despite being sold by his brothers, becoming a slave, being accused a crime he did not do, thrown in jail for said crime, being forgotten etc. God raised him up to be just below Pharaoh. That is SO cool. Not only that but:

“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭50:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Despite what his brothers did he forgives them. He doesn’t hold it over them because he recognized that what they meant for evil God meant for good.

Honestly I LOVE this story and highly suggest reading it if you haven’t already, or even if you have. It starts from about Genesis 37 on until the end of Genesis.

I agree! It’s a lovely story and incredibly encouraging, a good reminder too 🙂
