Sunday Notes, August 22, 2010

Dear friends,

Joseph has his first dramatic confrontation with his brothers who sold him into slavery. Read this classic story in Genesis 42 and look for these themes found in the following questions.

1. How do you see their guilty conscience showing itself? Look for the incriminating accusatory statements.

2. How do you see God working out His providential purposes through this story?

3. How do we know Joseph never lost his tender affection for his brothers?

4. Why did Joseph take such a hard attitude toward his brothers?

5. Why did Jacob not let Benjamin go down to Egypt?

I hope these thoughts will help you to think clearly through this chapter, and
see how the Lord works out His own purposes through the decisions of ordinary people. How does your life reflect and engage these universal themes of guilt and the will of God?

See you Sunday,

Lee
