Genesis 42: 1-38; Joseph's Brothers Go To Egypt

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

Joseph takes a page out of his uncle Esau's book here. Esau would have had every right to kill Jacob for stealing his birthright; Joseph would have had every right to have his brothers killed for selling him into slavery. However, like Esau before him, Joseph chose the path of forgiveness. He chose to forgive his brothers for what they had done to him. We have all been sinned against. In those times we have the choice to seek revenge or to take the path of forgiveness. I think Jesus would have us follow Joseph's, and Esau's, example and forgive all those who have sinned against us. God bless you,

Pastor Josh

Dear Friend,

Nice analogy between Esau and Joseph. I never would have thought they had anything in common.

Keep up the good work.
