Comments:
In Jacob’s life we see that he loved one of his wives more than the other and now we see he loves Joseph more than his other children. Sometimes parents mess up.
We also see that Joseph for whatever reason doesn’t handle his dreams very well. Could there have been a better way for him to tell his family about his dreams? Understandably, his brothers are not happy with what the dreams seem to be implying.
Jacob ends up mourning a son who is not dead. However, this same son will save his family in the end.
What can I say about the story in chapter 38? One thing is sure, the Bible is not always rated G or even PG. The Bible is a book full of stories that show human beings in their best light and their worst light.
Matthew 1:3 reveals that the ancestry of Jesus is through Perez and his father Judah. What does this tell us about people and people God can work through?
