Dysfunctional family

Whenever you read the story of Joseph, you can’t help but see a “dysfunctional family” blaring at you like a neon light.

 The best summary I think of Joseph’s life is found in Genesis 50: 20 .

 Where Joseph says "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good. 

 To accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

 Joseph’s brothers hated him and sold him as a slave.

God intended it. God allowed these things to happen to Joseph.

God, through Joseph, saved the entire people born out of Abraham’s seed from famine  and the  nation of Egypt as well.
