Don't Let Envy Drag You Down | Genesis 37

When envy takes root, it can pull us into a pit of bitterness. But God's Word gives us a way out. In this message, we look at five biblical antidotes to envy:

Confession instead of cover-up

Kindness instead of cruelty

Blessing instead of collusion

Celebration instead of coldness

Gratitude instead of comparison

As we reflect on the story of Joseph, we see a powerful foreshadowing of the salvation God would later bring through Jesus. Just as Joseph was betrayed and sold, yet later saved his family, Jesus was betrayed, mistreated, and sacrificed, but it was all part of God's plan to bring salvation to the world.

"You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good."

Genesis 37 reminds us that God is always working behind the scenes for His purpose and glory.

Jesus is the better Joseph. His suffering brings our freedom. His sacrifice brings our salvation.
