Joseph: Playing Favorites

As the story of Joseph begins, all of the characters struggle with different sinful attitudes, such as partiality, favoritism, selfish pride, superiority, resentment, and hatred, and we witness the horrific impact these attitudes have on people. Our various sinful attitudes toward others are incompatible with the kingdom of God; rather, we are to love one another, walk in humility, put off bitterness and resentment, and extend grace and acceptance to others, especially the marginalized and the outcast.
