Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors

GENESIS 37: 1-36
Joseph’s story (Genesis 37-50) brings the people of Israel to a critically important locale:

Joseph’s narrative is bookended by events that can only be explained by the

of God.

God communicates through

in primarily three sections of Scripture (the Patriarchs, Daniel, and the birth narrative in Matthew). He may continue to do so today!

Joseph is painted in stark contrast to Jacob: he is a fulfillment of God’s

(Genesis 12:1-3) and serves as God’s blessing to the nations.

Joseph’s experience reminds us that faithfully following God’s call in life may lead to

and

Joseph’s brothers’ wicked actions

two truths: the destructive nature of envy and God’s sovereign power, even over sin.
