Joseph - Genesis 42

1. Twenty years had gone by since Joseph had been sold into slavery, but his brothers' sin would find them out. See Numbers 32:23.
   God will sometimes allow difficulties in our life to draw or bring us back to Himself. This was true in Jacob's ten sons' lives:
   1. Verses 1-3
   2. Verses 9-20
   3. Verses 21-24
   4. Verses 25-28
   5. What other examples and people can you think of this happening to?
   6. Has this happened in your life? What was the result?
2. Why do you think Joseph treated his brothers so badly (verses 9-20)?
