Key Verse

“Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.”Genesis 37:3

Text —Genesis 37:1-5

Message

Joseph was the second youngest of Jacob’s twelve sons. The family had moved back to the land of Canaan where Joseph looked after sheep and goats. Jacob loved Joseph more than any of his other sons and gave him a special coat. It was obvious who the favourite in the family was and that made his brothers very jealous. What made Joseph’s brothers hate him even more was that Joseph told his father everything they did wrong.

One night, Joseph dreamed that while he and his brothers were tying up sheaves of wheat in the field, his sheaf stood up straight, while his brothers’ sheaves made a circle around his and bowed down to it. Then Joseph had another dream in which he saw the sun, the moon, and eleven stars bowed down to him. When Joseph told his brothers the dreams they were furious and asked, “Do you think you are going to be king and rule over us?” And they hated Joseph even more.

As friends of Jesus, you are a special and well favoured child. God does not discriminate. He loves every one of us equally. Always see yourself as a special child of God. Also, you are to spread the good news to sinners so that they can come and become favoured children of God.
