Faithful to his father

Exiled to Egypt

Rejected/ betrayed by his own people

Sold for silver

Stripped of his tunic

Sent into a pit

Faced with temptation but virtuous

Goes thru tribulations

Weeps

Punished along with 2 other convicts

Saves those who rejected him

Forgives those who rejected him

Becomes a blessing to all the nations

Is ultimately acknowledged as a savior

Speaks more of God than anyone in Genesis- sees the “big picture.”

Joseph is a great example to all of us; virtuous living,  trusting God’s way vs. our own way, forgiving others, caring for others— even those who have persecuted us.
