Joseph Tested His Brothers — Digest

Here are the six posts in my series Joseph Tested His Brothers.

The story of Joseph testing his brothers illustrates how to test whether an abuser has truly reformed, and how to discern true reformation from pseudo-reformation.

1. Joseph tested his brothers by falsely accusing them

2. The second test Joseph gave his brothers

3. Reconciled with his brothers

4. Joseph’s brothers were afraid of Joseph even though he had forgiven them

5. Joseph’s treatment of his brothers — reflections and applications

6. We can learn a lot about wise reconciliation by comparing and contrasting our own situations to that of Joseph

Note: Parts 1 and 2 in this Joseph series also belong to the series Is it always sinful to tell an untruth?
