Joseph Reveals Himself to His Brothers

Joseph is reunited with his family (image from freebibleimages.org).

Central Truth: What is intended for evil, God can turn around for good.

Scriptures: Genesis 44-47

Before Joseph's brothers returned to Canaan, Joseph had his servant hide their money in their sacks and to  hide Joseph's silver cup in Benjamin's sack. When the brothers had traveled a short distance, Joseph's men overtook them and accused them of stealing the silver cup. The brothers denied they had the cup, saying whoever has the cup should die and the rest of them enslaved. When the sacks were emptied and the cup found in Benjamin's sack, they returned to Joseph in Egypt.

When the brothers were brought to Joseph, Judah begged him not to take Benjamin, explaining how it would kill their father to lose another son. Joseph was so touched he could no longer refrain from revealing his identity. He sent his brothers back to Canaan to bring back their father and their families to Egypt because there was still five years left of the famine. 

Easter Celebration


"And he saith unto them, 'Be not affrighted: ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before yo into Galilee" Mark 16:6-7

Today we celebrate Resurrection Day at Tabernacle of Praise! We cut out Easter eggs with scriptures and placed them in an envelope. I found the template at biblestoryprintables.com. We read each of the scriptures aloud and talked about the Resurrection along with some snacks. 

Happy Easter and may God bless you!
