Lesson Description

Despite the favor and grace God bestowed on Abraham and his descendants, Abraham’s family struggled because of favoritism. Isaac favored his older son, Esau, and Isaac’s wife, Rebekah, favored the younger son, Jacob. Jacob favored his wife Rachel over his other wife Leah, and he favored Joseph, who was born to him by Rachel, over his other sons. Jacob even gave Joseph a special coat—a “robe of many colors” (Gen. 37:3), and Joseph’s brothers hated him. Their hatred drove them to get rid of Joseph; they sold him into slavery! Joseph’s brothers thought their action would put an end to their younger brother, at least as far as they were concerned. But it didn’t.

Even though Joseph’s brothers mistreated their younger sibling, God was with Joseph and was accomplishing His will—not only in Joseph’s life, but in a larger arena as well. Joseph’s life is interesting, not just because of what we see happening to Joseph, but especially because of what we can’t see happening to him. God was at work. This Joseph’s Special Coat Bible lesson for older preschoolers tells the story of Joseph’s early years and will remind kids that God will always be with them wherever they go.
