This lesson explores the life of Joseph at age 17, contrasting his moral integrity and divine calling with the corruption and jealousy of his brothers. Though favored by his father Jacob—who gifts him a noble tunic—Joseph’s dreams of future leadership ignite his brothers’ hatred. Their envy leads them to betray and sell him into slavery. The lesson highlights the dangers of parental passivity, the destructive nature of envy, and the sovereignty of God’s plan even when circumstances seem bleak. Joseph’s story prefigures Christ’s suffering and redemptive role, reminding believers that God’s purposes continue even through adversity.
