Joseph's father was waiting for a report as to the welfare of his other sons who had roamed far away from home. He had sent the family dreamer, his favorite, to check on them and Joseph had been willing to pursue and find them out in the field. But their response on seeing him was to hurl insults and to make plans for his demise. It was Judah who suggested they take him out of the pit and sell him. And so, Joseph came up from the pit whole, his body in one piece. The plan to kill him was forestalled, but they did take his coat and cover it with blood to be able to present a concocted story to their father.
And so it was, that Judas knew that the brethren of Jesus planned to kill Him, so he took the thirty pieces of silver and sold Jesus into their hands. Indeed, they concocted a story worthy of death and His bloody body was soon displayed for all to see. However, when they buried Him, He arose, His body complete in one piece. All the concocted stories of the brethren were shattered.
Today, you can find brethren out in the field (world) who still hurl insults and who still concoct all types of means to rid themselves of Jesus. The story of Joseph: myth. The story of Jesus: myth. Then there are those in the field who tell the old, old stories with true conviction and belief. Whose report do you believe?
