Topic
Goodness forms true reconciliation with good reactions, and furthermore life salvation.
Key question
What is the result of Joseph's goodness toward his brothers?
1. Introduction
Joseph did good to Pharaoh, who had enslaved him, and to his kingdom. In particular, there is no vengeance on the family of Bodibal or the head of the drunk government. In addition, I did not get carried away by hatred and revenge feelings toward my brothers, but rather served and forgave them as best I could. His goodness was derived from his deep trust and faith in God. What are the consequences that Joseph brought about when he was giving love and being nice to the people around him?

(1) the life of calling the line
When Pharaoh and his officials hear of Joseph, they rejoice together and promise goodwill and hospitality. Verse 18. For he was greatly indebted through Joseph. This shows how well Joseph did in Pharaoh's kingdom. When you do good things, you must be rewarded with good things. Am I doing good as a channel to convey God's grace?
(2) a life of preeminence
The brothers were jealous and hated Joseph because of his clothes, and he forgave and loved them with his clothes. Sect. 22. Do not repay evil with evil, but rather do good. If you want good results, forgive and preach. The healing and recovery of each other is possible when first approached with a good heart.
(3) the life created by the forefathers
When Jacob hears the news from his sons, he does not believe it. Verse 26. It was unexpected news. Only when I see the cart that Joseph sent me, I feel better. The forefathers blessed by faith eventually raised their father Jacob from the grief and despair of loss. Only a good life derived from faith and goodness saves lives.
3. Conclusion
It is very difficult to give good without repaying evil with evil. But only forgiving and preying bring good results. Are you hurt by words and actions full of evil thoughts? Know your injustice and trust in God who will turn things into good, and still be good. God will repay us according to the good we have done.
4. Prayer
To overcome evil with good like Joseph. Be sure of God's good will and live by faith, so that the health of the elders, the virus, is controlled.
5. Prayer title
Let faith be a life of good influence on family, neighbors, and churches.
Let our church be a church that preaches the gospel of Jesus at a time when we are dizzy.
Be responsible for our children's lives and let them live by faith.
