http://www.postsecret.blogspot.comThe end of Genesis concerns Joseph's reaction when his brothers come to Egypt for food during the famine Joseph actually prophesied when he interpreted the Pharoh's dream. None of Joseph's brothers recognize him, and he purposefully keeps up this deception, seemingly not out of spite (he breaks down weeping a few times) but out of a desire to test their character and see their hearts. Though he never once seems to hold onto bitterness, giving them the food they need and looking after their well-being even while he is lying to them, his outright forgiveness comes only after he realizes how broken they are.
So is Joseph justified in what he does? Or the better question, is he right in God's eyes?
