7. Joseph chose to break…. if you were in Joseph’s position?…
If I were in Joseph’s shoes, I would have been very tempted to get back at them. Well, at least a little. Nothing like what they are fearing for sure, but after selling me into slavery, a little lesson might be needed. I know, I’m a bad Christian, God’s working on that.
The problem with teaching them a “lesson” is that’s more God’s work than ours. Joseph saw the good that came out of what they had done and rose above the need for retribution. That is a good example of an active healthy spirituality. I’m very glad I’ve never been faced with such a situation as this.
