My Favourite Bible Story swap Oh boy - I saw this swap and thought this should be an interesting one to do. Now I am not sure which story to pick. I have three/four favourites: 1. Ruth 2. Ester 3. Joseph 4. Jesus Life, Death and Resurrection - the modern version told by the play and movie Jesus Christ Superstar The one I probably have read most and watched is Joseph. As a teenager I play Potipha's wife in a skit. I was also involved backstage with a school production of the play a few years ago. My daughter fell in love with the music and theatre. There are so many aspects to Joseph's life story that have spoken to me at various times in my life. The themes that stand out to me are: opening yourself to the possibility of dreaming the power of dreams vision sibling rivalry fairness jealously hardship willingness to work do your best in all things and all circumstances sexuality fleeing from tempting situations service forgiveness organisation and planning is part of life You could probably add more. I find the use of symbols in the story intriguing. Its like mysteries are being revealed.

for the good of those who love God and are called according to his
purpose for them." Romans 8:28 The story starts in Genesis 37: click here to read BibleGateway AN INTERESTING WAY TO SHARE THE SCRIPTURE STORY WITH YOUR FAMILY (A gift of a blender and ingredients make Orange Delicious to teach us along with Joseph that God gives gifts for His glory.)
