Key ideas from Joseph
- Father Mike Schmitz hosts the Bible in a Year podcast using The Great Adventure Bible from Ascension Press for enhanced study features
- Joseph at 17 was Israel's favored son, receiving a special robe that sparked deadly jealousy among his older brothers
- The brothers sold Joseph to Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver after initially planning to murder him
- Job declares 'the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding' in chapter 28
- Jealousy unchecked becomes envy, then resentment, which can lead to deadly actions against those we should love
- Gratitude serves as the antidote to resentment - recognizing life and love as gifts rather than entitlements
- The story reveals how brokenness appears throughout Scripture to show us our own hearts and need for God
