Intended for Good

In life we suffer and are sinned against, and that suffering demands a response. Will we harbor bitterness? Self pity? How could we possibly forgive those who betray us and maliciously hurt us? How can we obey Jesus when he says to return evil with good? How can we be freed from the paralysis of resentment? At the crescendo of the Joseph story, we find one of the greatest statements of God's character and an example in Joseph that shows us a way out of the poison of bitterness and into the freedom of the gospel.
