God was in it! 

You intended to harm me,
    but God intended it for good
        to accomplish what is now being done,
            the saving of many lives.
                    Genesis 50:20
 
Joseph is so like Christ in many different ways …

    His father’s pride and joy …
        Betrayed by his own …
            Mistreated by others
                The Great Deliverer!
 
All the injustices ..
    All the rejection and isolation ..
        All the pain and suffering ..
            All the personal heartache

Was a pathway to a greater glory and blessing …

    the saving of many lives!
