Genesis 42:18-38, Matthew 21:1-22
Matthew 21:1-22Thought from Today's Old Testament Passage:
Gen. 44:1-17: Joseph, with an air of justice, gives sentence that Benjamin only should be kept in bondage, and the rest should be dismissed; for why should any suffer but the guilty? Perhaps Joseph intended hereby to try Benjamin's temper, whether he could bear such a hardship as this with the calmness and composure of mind that became a wise and good man: in short, whether he was indeed his own brother, in spirit as well as blood; for Joseph himself had been falsely accused, and had suffered hard things in consequence, and yet kept possession of his own soul. However, it is plain he intended hereby to try the affection of his brethren to Benjamin and to their father. If they had gone away contentedly, and left Benjamin in bonds, no doubt Joseph would soon have released and promoted him, and sent notice to Jacob, and would have left the rest of his brethren justly to suffer for their hard-heartedness; but they proved to be better to Benjamin than he feared. Note, We cannot judge what men are by what they have been formerly, nor what they will do by what they have done: age and experience may make men wiser and better. Those that had sold Joseph would not now abandon Benjamin. The worst may mend in time.

Response to the Lost Tomb of Jesus
These programs examine and respond to the conclusions reached in the Discovery Channel's special The Lost Tomb of Jesus. In this series we also examine the new fictional novel -- The Gospel According to Judas, written by Jeffrey Archer, along with the assistance of Catholic theologian Francis J. Moloney. In this fictional story, they claim Judas did not betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, and never committed suicide. Further they claim Jesus never walked on water, turned water into wine. Judas also believes Jesus wasn't God's Messiah and never rose from the dead. What historical evidence shows most of the claims about Judas and Jesus are wrong? We also examine Elaine Pagels and Karen King's new book entitled Reading Judas. Why is this popular alternative view of Jesus historically wrong?
