had done to their brother. Through HIS goodness and mercy he worked a
work in them. And like Jesus, Joseph loved his brethren and was ready to
forgive them. Joseph knew what they had intended for evil, God meant for
good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. And
like Jesus, The Gentle Shepherd, He took care of them. I love the story of
the life of Joseph as it is a type of the life of Christ.
I personally do not think Jacob (Israel) knew for sure.

Hopefully that helped a little!

Thanks and I'll read it after I get home from church.
