A Person for all Seasons

Genesis 43: 15-34

What were Joseph's sanctifying virtues?

1. He worked well under authority and respected those under his authority.
2. He returned good in the place of evil; he was forgiving. (Romans 12:17-Do not repay evil for evil). Do more than is required, replace evil with good, love your enemies.
3. He executed his stewardship with complete trustworthiness. He used his position for the common good (John 17:4)
4. Whenever he spoke he spoke truth. He didn't tell everything he knew but what he did tell was true.

A mistake is not a sin.
