Jesus & Joseph, Part 7

Too Good to Be True? The Fear of Grace.

AUDIO ONLY

SUMMARY

I think Grace really throws people. Grace is the idea that someone, in our faith we are usually talking about God, would do something kind, often sacrificial, with no expectation of repayment or returning the action in kind. Over the years I have realized that some people can accept a graceful act from another person with a simple “thank you, that’s very kind of you” and go on with life in a better place emotionally and mentally. Others either become suspicious about motives, or feel like they are losing control, or can even get irritated by a gracious act.

This happens in the story we have been reading about Joseph. While we are not sure why Joseph does what he does but we definitely see the response of Joseph’s brothers and father – which was not positive!
