Loving kindness was the glory of this man. He was a son born of intense love. The parental love radiated from this beautiful lad. He was fearless yet mild in manner. When his brothers were guilty of bad conduct, he reported it to his father. They would have killed him except for the mercy of his brother Reuben. They sold him into slavery. His owner was soon aware of the outstanding management ability of this handsome young man. The wife of his owner tried repeatedly to seduce him and he refused.

He was far from home and the moral support of his family. He remained true to God, who blessed him without measure. He remained free from the sin of adultery, even at the possible loss of his life. He was put in prison and his greatness was apparent. Inevitably he was appointed to be the most powerful man in the known world.

He had a great sense of duty and also a remarkable sense of humor. When his scheming brothers come under his power he scared the daylights out of them, and at the same thing he wept because of his love for them. His mercy was without measure. This great man Joseph saved the nation of Israel from starvation and brought them to a land of safety and respect in Egypt. He was a man of God who remained loyal to truth and right.
