Joseph

Genesis 37-50

Joseph was his father’s (Jacob) favourite son

This lead to his brothers hating him

Joseph’s brothers didnt like him more because of his dreams which were interpreted that his brothers would bow down to Joseph.

This teaches that it doesnt matter who hates you but you will always come out victorious and if its God’s will then it will happen (Genesis 37:8)

Josephs Brother’s planned to kill him but Reuben went against it to save Joseph

This teaches that you will always have atleast one person you can go to
