Do you remember what Josephs brothers had done?<br> Genesis, chapter 37, tells us that Josephs brothers were jealous of him. So they took him and sold him into slavery in Egypt. Now, years later, they saw Joseph again. They were afraid that Joseph was still angry with them and would punish them.<br> But Joseph said to his brothers, <em>Dont be afraid...I have no right to punish you. It is true that you planned to do something bad to me. But...Gods plan was to use me to save the lives of many people</em> (verse 19b).

But we should follow Jesus example and be willing to forgive others.
