Two Brothers - So Different (2 of 5)
Series: The Gospel According to Joseph
Scott Maze
Genesis 38:12-19, 24-26; 39:6b-20
When we consider famous brothers... ... some famous brothers come to mind...
1. Wilbur and Orville Wright ushered in the era of flight;
2. The Brothers Grimm, Wilhelm and Jacob, popularized fairy tales such as ''Snow White,'' ''Cinderella,'' and ''Sleeping Beauty'';
3. Outlaws Frank and Jesse James;
4. The brothers Manning - Eli and Payton;
5. And there's the first two brothers in all of history, Cain and Abel;

Of all the people and all of the families in the world, God choose this family to work through to eventually bring His Son, Jesus, into the world. God said these word to Abraham: ''I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply ...
