We might be tempted to argue with people who claim Christians are hypocritical, judgmental, self-righteous, arrogant, unforgiving, and disrespectful, claiming those associations are not fair. Instead we should remember that if God's grace were truly fair, everyone would end up in Hell. So we thank God for His amazing grace, and we spread that good news to everyone.

Despite everything Joseph had been through between the time he had been sold into slavery by his own brothers and when he met with them again many years later, Joseph was not angry or vengeful toward them. Instead, through faith he recognized that God had sent him on that path for their benefit and his own. So, like Joseph, we too should trust in God's plan for us and for those around us, even when it seems we may have been wronged by them.

In this sermon we learn what God has promised to those who put their trust in mankind instead of him, and we see that God promises to bless those who trust in him, even if they are sometimes insulted, excluded, hated, and rejected in this world because of their faith.
