What a great day at RVIS LifeWise! In today's Bible lesson, we continued on in the story of Joseph. For a full account read Genesis chapters 42-50.
Joseph's brothers came to Egypt to ask for food. They had no idea their long lost brother Joseph (whom they'd sold into slavery) was one of Pharoah's rulers. At first, Joseph kept his identity a secret from his brothers sending them away with their request for food. Later, after some tests, Joseph reveals his identity and there is quite a reunion between Joseph, his father and brothers.
Joseph forgives his brothers for selling him into slavery. He tells them it was all part of God's plan for him to go to Egypt and help save the people from famine. Genesis 50:20 "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today."
The children learned today that nothing or no one can stop God's plan for their lives.
Joseph's story of forgiveness and redemption points us to Jesus. Jesus Christ became the ultimate sacrifice by taking the punishment of our sins when he died on the cross. We can be forgiven if we only ask! 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Our Bible verse for today is Isaiah 41:10 "fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Our character quality this week is FORGIVENESS.---Letting go of a grudge against someone who has wronged me.
If you'd like your child to be a part of this weekly program, it is NEVER too late to sign up. In fact, we had two new students join today!
