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.

During Jesus' trial at the Sanhedrin, Pilate's wife is given a prophetic dream, which causes her suffering and leads her to warn her husband to leave Jesus alone. Her warning reveals Christ's true righteousness and makes it clear that he is the standard by which God measures all people. We also recognize God has given us an invitation to trust in Jesus as our savior, since we don't measure up to that standard on our own.
