The Story: a family reunion

 The Story: a family reunion by ric gustafson


Family reunions can be emotional. Emotions such as old hurts, buried feelings and unresolved issues could surface. In Genesis 45, we have a family reunion. Joseph had a meal for his brothers. Then Joseph put a cup in Benjamin's bag of grain. This was so the youngest brother looked like a thief. 
The ploy worked. Benjamin was sentenced to become Joseph's slave. The other brothers could not return without their youngest brother. Jacob would die of a broken heart. 
Joseph knew it was time. He looked at his brothers. " I am Joseph".
