The story of Joseph makes me think of the cartoon movie about it that i watched a while back.
Joseph's brothers all felt very jealous towards him and that jealousy led them to selling him off into slavery.
to me it sounds kinda crazy for them to do that... i mean... having two older brothers i've had a pretty good amount of arguments and fights, and i may have said that i wish that they werent my brothers... but actually having them go away forever would been kinda harsh for me.
The Matthew passage tells 4 different parables. it starts talking about good weeds and bad weeds.. and how we should keep harvesting what we do and pick out the weeds in our lives.
the parable about the hidden treasure and the pearl merchant kinda seemed almost exactly the same to me... and now i am just wondering if Jesus was telling these one after the other or if they were both to different groups of people at a time... not sure if that would be very important or not though
i love how he used the parable of the fishing net because it makes things so clear... but still wonder if he had explained more things after that saying that these fishes were people like us.. or if people just figured those out by themselves.
