Joseph was a part of a family. Even though Joseph grew up in a
messed-up family, he did not allow his unusual and dysfunctional
family background to get in the way of serving God. He refused to
use his family history as an excuse.
We are also part of an earthly family as well as a Christian Church
family. We are the brothers and sisters of Jesus The Church is a
family bound together by love for God, their Heavenly Father, and
for one another.
One day Jesus was together with his disciples in a house. When
Jesus' mother and brothers arrived at the house, they sent someone
inside to look for him. They told Jesus, “Your mother and
brothers are outside looking for you.” Jesus looked around
at the people seated around him and answered, "Here are my
mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother
& sister & mother.”
Did Jesus love his real mother and brothers? Of course he did,
but he also realized that he had another family. It was a family
made up of those who loved his Heavenly Father and did his will.
You and I love our families, but we also have a wonderful family
of faith made up of brothers and sisters who love God and love one
another. It is wonderful to be a part of "The Family of God."

Joseph was loved by his earthly father, he gave him a very special
present, can you remember what that was?
But Joseph was also very important to God who loved him and you
will learn later in this teaching God never left him even in Joseph’s
times of difficulties. God knew Joseph before he was even born and
He had a great plan for Joseph just like He has for you.
Yeremiya 1:5a
“Ndisanakulenge iwe m'mimba ndinakudziwa, ndipo usanabadwe
ndinakupatula iwe; ”
Yeremiya 29:11
“Pakuti ndidziwa malingiriro amene ndilingiririra inu,
ati Yehova, malingiriro a mtendere, si a choipa, akukupatsani inu
adzukulu ndi chiyembekezero.”
Joseph's father loved him more than his brothers. Do you know anyone
else in the Bible like that? Jesus is the beloved son and preferred
one of the Father.
