In this week's episode, we learn that things are not what they seem. This happens in several different instances.
- It appeared like Yosef was all alone. But God was actually with him all along. And God orchestrated events such that Pharoah dreamed dreams only Yosef could interpret, enabling Yosef to achieve a high position.
- Yosef seemed to be a cruel and harsh viceroy. This was because the brothers did not recognize him- even though he recognized them. In truth, Yosef was testing his brothers to make sure they would no longer act to other people, especially Binyamin, as they had acted towards him.
- It seemed as though Binyamin had stolen the special silver goblet from Yosef. In truth, however, Yosef had his servant plant it in Binyamin's sack. Would the brothers think Binyamin was guilty of this theft? Or would they realize he was innocent?
Based on our questions and discussions, we come up with some very important lessons and takeaways for our own lives!
