Joseph is now reigning over Egypt and the famine is in full force. His brothers come to buy food from Joseph not knowing that their brother is the governor. Joseph puts his brothers through a series of tests to see if their attitude has changed and they are given a chance to repent. Forgiveness is difficult, but with God’s help, Joseph unbelievably offers complete and total forgiveness to his brothers. We should follow Joseph’s example and allow love to conquer vengeance.
