Sibling rivalry.
“Dad loves me the most!”
Rivalry exacerbated.
“Dad gave me this long robe!”
Siblings responding.
“We hate him.”
Rivalry turns to plotting.
“Throw him in the pit! Sell him into slavery.”
Story turns. Released from slavery.
“I have power in Egypt.”
Sibling rivals fear.
“What if he bears a grudge?”
Siblings confess sin.
“Please forgive us, brother!”
Rivalry turns to reconciliation.
“Good has come from bad.”
Listen to the Holy Spirit.
She guides us toward one another and toward hope.
Let us worship.
God’s love continues to move in our time. Amen.
