SO, GOD, WHAT DOES IT MEAN? THIS -- THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR. 16:20 AS WE GO BACK TO THAT LIFE, SPEAK TO US ABOUT THIS LIFE, WE HUMBLY PRAY IN CHRIST'S NAME, 16:27 AMEN. 16:29 ANNE LAMOTT IN HER WHIMSICAL BOOK "TRAVELING MERCIES: 16:31 SOME REFLECTIONS ON FAITH," SHE MAKES THIS STATEMENT. 16:34 I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THIS ONE. 16:37 "NOT FORGIVING --" ALL RIGHT? ME NOT FORGIVING YOU, YOU NOT 16:41 FORGIVING HER "-- NOT FORGIVING IS LIKE DRINKING RAT POISON AND 16:47 THEN WAITING FOR THE RAT TO DIE." 16:50 YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THAT ONE. I KNOW THIS MIGHT SEEM -- IN 16:56 FACT, I HAD A STUDENT COME UP TO ME AFTER FIRST YEARS. "MAN, PASTOR, DID YOU HAVE TO 17:00 START WITH SO -- SO HEAVY A BEGINNING?" BUT I'M GONNA ASK THE QUESTION 17:03 ANYWAY. IS THERE -- IS THERE... SOMEONE IN YOUR LIFE YOU HAVE 17:14 NOT FORGIVEN? AM I DRINKING THE RAT POISON? THAT'S THE QUESTION. 17:23 MAYBE YOUR MOTHER. MAYBE YOUR DAD. MAYBE A CHILD. 17:30 MAYBE A ROOMMATE. MAYBE A HUSBAND, MAYBE A -- MAYBE A WIFE. 17:38 MAYBE A FRIEND. MAYBE AN ENEMY. HAVE WE DRUNK THE RAT POISON? 17:47 THAT'S THE VERY QUESTION FACING JOSEPH AT THIS MOMENT. I WANT YOU TO OPEN YOUR BIBLE. 17:50 WE'RE CUTTING TO THE CHASE. OPEN YOUR BIBLE TO GENESIS CHAPTER 40. 17:56 HE FACES THE CHOICE. HE HAS TO MAKE IT. YOU AND I CAN'T DUCK IT EITHER. 18:01 GENESIS CHAPTER 40. AT THIS VERY MOMENT, JOSEPH IS UNDERGROUND. 18:06 EGYPTIAN DUNGEONS WERE SUBTERRANEAN. AS IT TURNS OUT, THERE ARE TWO 18:11 OTHER POLITICAL PRISONERS IN THE PRISON WITH HIM. CHIEF, UH -- CHIEF BUTLER, 18:15 CHIEF BAKER. JOSEPH HAS JUST INTERPRETED THEIR DREAMS. 18:21 AND IN FACT, IN THREE DAYS, IT WILL -- IT WILL HAPPEN EXACTLY AS HE PREDICTS. 18:27 AS THE CHIEF BUTLER IS LEAVING, JOSEPH GRABS HIS HAND ONE MORE TIME AND SAYS, "I BEG OF YOU. 18:33 I PLEAD WITH YOU. PLEASE. WHEN YOU GET BACK TO PHARAOH, 18:36 REMEMBER ME. I'M JUST A HEBREW SLAVE. I DID NOTHING TO DESERVE THIS." 18:42 NOW, HERE GOES. LAST LINE OF GENESIS CHAPTER 40. THIS WILL BE VERSE 23. 18:49 I'M IN THE NIV. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. HE MAKES THE PLEA, BUT THE CHIEF 18:55 CUPBEARER "DID NOT REMEMBER JOSEPH. HE FORGOT HIM." 19:11 SOME OF YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE IN THE WHITE SPACE THAT FOLLOWS. 19:17 YOU SEE THAT LITTLE WHITE SPACE BETWEEN CHAPTER 40 AND 41? THAT IS TWO LONG YEARS OF TOTAL 19:25 SILENCE. SOME OF YOU ARE LIVING IN THAT WHITE SPACE RIGHT NOW. 19:30 NOBODY REMEMBERS YOU, FEELS LIKE NOT EVEN GOD HIMSELF. YOU'RE NOT ON ANY RADAR SCREEN. 19:40 WHY AM I GOING THROUGH THIS? YOU KNOW THAT WHITE SPACE? SOME OF US ARE IN IT RIGHT NOW. 19:47 OBVIOUSLY, IN GOD'S MASTER PLAN, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS WHITE SPACE. 19:51 OBVIOUSLY, EVERY SPACE OF OUR LIFE IS PACKED WITH HIS INTENTIONAL STRATEGIC PLAN FOR 19:57 US. BUT JOSEPH HAS NO CLUE. TWO YEARS -- ABSOLUTE SILENCE. 20:01 LOOK AT CHAPTER 41:1. "WHEN TWO FULL YEARS HAD PASSED." 20:08 TOTALLY OFF THE RADAR SCREEN OF ANYBODY EXCEPT GOD. IT MAKES YOU WONDER. 20:14 COME ON. JUST THINKING OUT LOUD. COULD IT BE THAT THESE WHITE 20:17 SPACES WE LIVE IN ARE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL IN GOD'S MASTER PLAN FOR OUR LIVES? 20:24 SOMETHING'S HAPPENING TO JOSEPH. SOMETHING'S HAPPENING TO YOU. SOMETHING'S HAPPENING TO ME 20:28 RIGHT NOW IN THE WHITE SPACE. VERSE 1 OF CHAPTER 41... 20:39 MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. SEVEN SLEEK, FAT COWS GET GOBBLED UP BY SEVEN GAUNT AND 20:45 UGLY COWS. THEN ALONG COME SEVEN HEALTHY HEADS OF GRAIN. 20:48 GET GOBBLED UP BY SEVEN WITHERED HEADS OF GRAIN. AND WHEN PHARAOH AWAKENS, ALL HE 20:53 KNOWS IS THAT THERE IS SOME SORT OF OMINOUS HARBINGER TUCKED AWAY IN THESE DREAMS, AND THE WHOLE 20:58 PALACE IS THROWN INTO PANDEMONIUM. "SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT THESE 21:02 DREAMS MEAN." EVERY MAGICIAN, EVERY WISE MAN, EVERY PRIEST -- THE SAGES ARE 21:07 BROUGHT IN. NOBODY KNOWS. AS THE WORD FILTERS THROUGH THE 21:12 PALACE, SUDDENLY SOMEBODY REMEMBERS. FACE BLUSHING IN APOLOGY, HE 21:18 STANDS BEFORE THE KING, AND HE SAYS, "OH, MY LORD. I REMEMBER, TWO YEARS AGO... 21:25 THERE WAS THIS HEBREW KID. HE WAS IN PRISON." BEFORE THE BUTLER CAN EVEN 21:31 FINISH THE REMEMBRANCE, THE ORDER IS BARKED. JOSEPH IS HURRIEDLY SUMMONED 21:36 FROM UNDERGROUND. NOW, I WANT YOU TO CATCH THIS. BEFORE HE GOES, HE INTENTIONALLY 21:41 SLOWS THE PROCESS DOWN. HE CHANGES HIS CLOTHES. AND THEN, FELLAS, LISTEN TO 21:46 THIS. HE SHAVES. IF YOU'RE EVER GOING FOR A JOB 21:50 INTERVIEW, MAY I GIVE YOU A LITTLE HINT OUT OF THE STORY OF JOSEPH? 21:52 SHAVE FIRST. [ LAUGHTER ] WE LOVE THE THREE-DAY STUBBLE. 21:56 IT LOOKS GREAT ON YOU. BUT NOT IF YOU WANT YOUR FUTURE LIKE JOSEPH'S. 22:00 JUST SHAVE. HE SHAVES. AND IN MOMENTS -- I MEAN, IT 22:04 FEELS LIKE MOMENTS -- HE'S STANDING BEFORE WHAT IS ARGUABLY THE GREATEST MONARCH IN 22:10 THE WORLD AT THAT TIME -- ALMIGHTY PHARAOH, HIMSELF. LOOK AT VERSE 25... 22:25 AND THE REST, AS THEY SAY, IS HISTORY -- STUNNING, DRAMATIC HISTORY OF A SLAVE BOY WHO, IN 22:30 LESS THAN 12 HOURS, BECOMES THE PRIME MINISTER OF THE GREATEST EMPIRE ON EARTH. 22:36 GO FIGURE. APPARENTLY, THE WHITE SPACE IS CRITICAL FOR WHEREVER GOD IS 22:41 GOING IN YOUR LIFE. DON'T LEAVE THE WHITE SPACE YET. MAN, OVERNIGHT! 22:48 IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS! LOOK AT PHARAOH. DROP DOWN TO VERSE 39. 22:55 "THEN PHARAOH SAID TO JOSEPH," 'CAUSE JOSEPH HAS JUST INTERPRETED THE TWO DREAMS... 23:15 WOW! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! 42. VERSE 42... 23:30 THE BOY HAS LOST TWO COATS ALREADY IN THIS STORY, BUT GUESS WHAT? 23:34 IT'S ALL FOR GETTING ONE ROBE HE'LL WEAR FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. 23:38 WOW! PUTS ON THE "ROBES OF FINE LINEN 23:40 AND PUT A GOLD CHAIN AROUND HIS NECK." 23:42 HE MADE HIM -- VERSE 43 -- "RIDE IN A CHARIOT AS HIS 23:45 SECOND-IN-COMMAND, AND PEOPLE SHOUTING BEFORE HIM, 'MAKE 23:47 WAY!'" "YO, MAKE WAY!" 23:50 "THUS, PHARAOH PUT JOSEPH IN CHARGE OF THE WHOLE LAND OF 23:55 EGYPT." AND ALL OF THAT IN ONE DAY -- IN ONE DAY! 24:03 I LOVE THE WAY CARLYLE B. HAYNES DESCRIBES IT. THIS IS JUST CLASSIC. 24:07 I'LL PUT IT ON THE SCREEN FOR YOU... 24:30 HEY, GUYS. HERE'S THE POINT. 24:32 NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP. 24:37 YOU GOT A DREAM? HANG ON TO THAT DREAM. 24:39 I DON'T CARE HOW YOUNG YOU ARE. I DON'T CARE HOW OLD YOU ARE. 24:41 GOD HAS WHITE SPACE. HE'LL FILL THE WHITE SPACE, BUT 24:45 THE DREAM WILL COME TRUE. NEVER GIVE UP. 24:49 DON'T EVER LET GO OF THAT DREAM. PHEW. 24:55 MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE RANCH... I MEAN, WE HAVEN'T SEEN THEM IN 25:01 A WHILE. BUT THEY'RE ALL THERE IN CANAAN. 25:04 YEP. 21 OR 22 YEARS HAVE DRAGGED BY 25:12 SINCE THE DAY THOSE JEALOUS, THOSE FURIOUS BROTHERS SOLD 25:16 THEIR KID BROTHER, JOSEPH, INTO SLAVERY. 25:21 I MEAN, LET ME DO THE ARITHMETIC FOR YOU. 25:23 SO, JOSEPH IS SENT INTO SLAVERY AT 17. 25:26 HE'S 10 YEARS IN POTIPHAR'S HOUSE, AND THEN MRS. POTIPHAR 25:29 SAYS -- YOU KNOW THE STORY. THREE YEARS IN JAIL. 25:33 SEVEN YEARS OF PROSPERITY, OKAY? BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE 25:37 BUMPER CROPS FOR SEVEN YEARS. THAT'S THE DREAM OF PHARAOH. 25:39 THEN CALAMITY. THEY'RE INTO THE CALAMITY A YEAR 25:42 OR TWO. DO THE ARITHMETIC. 25:44 IT'S 21 OR 22 YEARS SINCE THEY SOLD THEIR BRO. 25:54 LOOK AT VERSE 1 OF CHAPTER 42. WHEN JACOB LEARNED -- THIS IS -- 26:01 THIS IS -- THIS IS FASCINATING. WHEN JACOB LEARNED THAT THERE 26:04 WAS GRAIN IN EGYPT, HE SAID TO HIS SONS, "HEY, GUYS. 26:08 WHY DO YOU JUST KEEP LOOKING AT EACH OTHER? 26:11 WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?" VERSE 2. 26:13 HE CONTINUED, "I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS GRAIN IN EGYPT. 26:15 GO DOWN THERE AND BUY SOME FOOD FOR US SO THAT WE MAY LIVE AND 26:18 NOT DIE." HEY, I WANT TO ASK YOU A 26:21 QUESTION. COME ON. 26:21 THESE ARE -- THESE ARE PROFESSIONAL SHEPHERDS. 26:24 DON'T YOU THINK THE BROTHERS OF JOSEPH -- DON'T YOU THINK THEY 26:28 KNOW THAT THERE'S GRAIN IN EGYPT? 26:29 THEY PROBABLY HEARD IT BEFORE PAPA DID. 26:32 BUT THEY ARE PURPOSELY DRAGGING THEIR FEET. 26:35 THEY'RE GONNA LET THEIR FAMILIES ALMOST STARVE TO DEATH BECAUSE 26:39 THERE'S SOMETHING -- THERE IS SOMETHING IN EGYPT THAT JUST 26:42 WON'T LET THEM GO. WHAT'S IN EGYPT? 26:46 NO. WHO'S IN EGYPT? AHA. 26:51 A GUILTY CONSCIENCE, I'M TELLING YOU, IS A TERRIBLE TRAVELING 26:56 COMPANION. LIKE THE SEVEN GAUNT AND UGLY 26:59 COWS OF PHARAOH'S DREAM, THAT GUILTY CONSCIENCE WILL CONSUME 27:02 YOUR LIFE ALIVE. THEY DON'T WANT TO GO. 27:07 PAPA SAYS, "YOU GOT TO GO. WHY ARE YOU WAITING?" 27:10 AND SO, 10, BECAUSE PAPA SAYS, "THERE IS NO WAY, JOSé, YOU'RE 27:14 TAKING THE BABY. YOU ARE NOT TAKING BENJAMIN. 27:17 I'M NOT GOING TO THE GRAVE WITHOUT BOTH OF MY RACHEL'S 27:20 BOYS." 10 GUILT-STRICKEN BROTHERS 27:26 TRUDGE TO EGYPT. AND HERE WE GO. 27:32 VERSE 6. CHAPTER 42. THEY ARRIVE... 27:52 WITH THEIR FACES TO THE GROUND, THEY'RE BOWING DOWN. 27:54 AND INSTANTLY -- YOU DIDN'T THINK HE COULDN'T TELL. 27:57 AND INSTANTLY, VERSE 7... 28:03 DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING TO JOSEPH RIGHT NOW? THE ALMIGHTY GOD OF THE UNIVERSE 28:08 IS SAYING, "HEY, BOY. THOSE WHITE SPACES -- I'M IN CONTROL. 28:13 DID YOU -- WERE YOU 17 WHEN YOU DREAMED OF THIS MOMENT? I'M STILL IN CONTROL. 28:21 STAY WITH ME! DON'T YOU LET ME GO. THE DREAM GOES IN ON." 28:27 IN ONE SPLIT SECOND, ON THEIR FACES. MERCY. 28:36 I'M GONNA HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON RIGHT HERE. AND I WANT TO SPEND A MOMENT 28:41 WITH YOU BROODING ON THIS DARK HUMAN EMOTION WE CALL ANGER. YOU SAY, "OH, DWIGHT. 28:50 THIS IS TERRIBLE. WE'RE JUST GETTING READY FOR THE GREAT DRAMA." 28:52 NO, NO, NO, NO. WAIT A MINUTE. THERE'S A SUBTITLE TO THIS SERIES. 28:56 "JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT," COLON, "HOW TO FIND HEALING FOR OUR 29:00 DEEPEST RELATIONSHIPS." 29:02 WE'RE ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS IN THIS MINISERIES THAT ENDS NEXT 29:05 SABBATH. THERE'S SOMETHING TUCKED AWAY -- 29:09 ANGER, THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE EMOTION FOR ANY HUMAN 29:13 RELATIONSHIP. WE GOT TO DEAL WITH THIS ONE. 29:16 IN FACT, LET ME SHARE WITH YOU DICK TIBBITS. 29:18 HE'S A PSYCHOLOGIST. 29:19 HE'S A HOSPITAL CHAPLAIN. HE'S ALSO A PASTOR. HE'S WRITTEN THE VERY PRACTICAL 29:23 BOOK -- THE TITLE OF THE BOOK "FORGIVE TO LIVE: HOW FORGIVENESS CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE." 29:29 HE DEFINES ANGER IN A WAY WE NEED TO GET. WE'VE GOT TO GET THIS ONE. 29:32 AND SO, PULL YOUR STUDY GUIDE OUT OF YOUR WORSHIP BULLETIN. LET'S GO. 29:36 I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS.

KEEP YOUR HAND UP. 30:33 THEY'RE COMING YOUR WAY, BUT WE'RE GONNA PROCEED AHEAD. DICK TIBBITS' DEFINITION OF 30:36 ANGER. PUT IT ON THE SCREEN, PLEASE. 30:37 YOU'LL NEED TO FILL IT IN. ANGER -- "A STRONG EMOTION OF 30:40 DISPLEASURE BROUGHT ON BY FEELINGS OF HELPLESSNESS AND 30:44 HOPELESSNESS." PRETTY PERCEPTIVE. KEEP GOING. 30:47 "A VERY FINE LINE SEPARATES --" PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED ABOUT THIS 30:51 ONE. "A VERY FINE LINE SEPARATES HURT 30:54 FROM ANGER." HURT. WRITE DOWN THE WORD 30:56 "HURT"... 31:04 THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE. 31:10 HEY, LISTEN. I MET A MAN, ONCE UPON A TIME, WHO WAS CONSUMED BY ANGER. 31:15 IT DESTROYED HIS FRIENDSHIPS. IT DESTROYED HIS HOME. IT NEARLY DESTROYED HIS 31:19 MARRIAGE. AND I GOT TO THINKING ABOUT THAT MAN. 31:21 WHAT'S GOING ON IN HIS LIFE? 31:23 THERE MUST BE SOMETHING DEEP THAT HAS HURT HIM. 31:28 HURT AND ANGER -- THE SAME. 31:31 DICK TIBBITS SAYS, "HEY, LISTEN. EVERYBODY EXPERIENCES ANGER. BUT LET ME SHARE WITH YOU SEVEN 31:37 DEADLY WAYS TO NOT DEAL WITH THAT ANGER." WE ALL EXPERIENCE ANGER. 31:41 SEVEN DEADLY STRATEGIES THAT WE OUGHT NOT TO EMBRACE WHEN WE'RE CONFRONTED WITH ANGER. 31:45 JOSEPH HAS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR LIFE-DESTROYING ANGER. JOT THEM DOWN. 31:50 THERE ARE SEVEN OF THESE. I WANT TO FLY THESE BY YOU. DICK TIBBITS' SEVEN DEADLY 31:53 STRATEGIES OF ANGER. NUMBER ONE -- DEADLY STRATEGY NUMBER ONE... 32:02 THAT'S USUALLY WHAT I DO. MANY TIMES, I'LL JUST DEMURE. "HEY, LISTEN. HEY, LISTEN. 32:06 IT'S NO BIG DEAL. FORGET ABOUT IT. IT'S NOTHING." 32:08 AND IN MY HEART, I'M SAYING, "YOU CREEP! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" 32:12 I INTERNALIZE IT. THAT'S WHAT I DO. AND THEN I STEW OVER IT. 32:15 IT BEGINS TO EAT ME UP. YOU KNOW WHAT I SHOULD BE SAYING? 32:18 "YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU OUGHT TO BE APOLOGIZING. I FORGIVE YOU." 32:22 "NO, NO. IT'S NOT -- HEY. IT'S NO BIG DEAL." INTERNALIZING IT. WRONG. 32:26 DEADLY STRATEGY NUMBER ONE. HERE COMES DEADLY STRATEGY NUMBER TWO... 32:33 IF YOU CANNOT DEFINE BOTH SIDES OF THE PROBLEM, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM. 32:37 YOU ONLY HAVE YOUR SIDE, AND YOU DON'T KNOW THE PROBLEM AT ALL. YOU'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO 32:41 UNDERSTAND BOTH SIDES. DEADLY STRATEGY NUMBER THREE. JOT THIS ONE DOWN... 32:49 OH, THIS IS INSIGHTFUL. I'M PUTTING -- I'M PUTTING TIBBITS ON THE SCREEN FOR THIS 32:53 ONE... 33:18 THAT'S WHY, WHEN HE COMES HOME, HE YELLS AT THE KIDS. WHEN SHE COMES HOME, SHE KICKS 33:23 THE DOG. OR MAYBE IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND. 33:26 WHY, I'M BLAMING -- I CAN'T -- I-I CAN'T DEAL WITH THE GUY THAT'S REALLY AT FAULT, SO I 33:31 TAKE IT OUT ON YOU. DEADLY STRATEGY NUMBER FOUR... 33:36 WHO? ME? PROBLEM WITH ANGER? ARE YOU CRAZY?! 33:39 I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANGER! NUMBER FIVE... 33:47 OOH. IT MAY BE A SOPHISTICATED FORM OF REVENGE. 33:51 YOU'RE NOT GONNA KILL ANYBODY, BUT, OH, IT IS SO DELICIOUS IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND. 33:56 THAT SO-AND-SO -- YOU'RE LIVING FOR THE MOMENT WHEN I -- IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, I AM GONNA 34:02 SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT. YOU GO, BIG GUY." [ LAUGHTER ] 34:08 REVENGE. REVENGE. YOU KNOW WHAT? 34:12 THAT'LL ONLY KILL YOU. YOU'RE JUST MAKING IT WORSE, PLANNING THAT SECRET REVENGE. 34:18 NUMBER SIX... 34:24 YOU CAN'T -- YOU CAN'T EAT YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS. YOU CAN'T DRUG YOUR WAY OUT OF 34:27 THIS. IT MIGHT BE SOME SORT OF TEMPORARY SOLUTION, BUT IT WILL 34:30 ONLY COMPOUND YOUR PROBLEMS AND IMPINGE UPON YOUR OWN HEALTH. AND FINALLY, NUMBER SEVEN. 34:39 OH, THIS WAS NEW FOR ME. THIS WAS NEW FOR ME. 34:45 TIBBITS WRITES... 35:06 YOU MIGHT KNOW A CYNIC OR TWO IN YOUR LIFE. DO YOU KNOW AN ANGRY PERSON? 35:13 HUH? HEY, WAIT A MINUTE. MAYBE YOU'RE THE ANGRY PERSON. 35:20 IS THERE ANY HOPE FOR OUR ANGER? IS THERE ANY HELP? YEP, EMBEDDED RIGHT HERE IN THIS 35:24 STORY. PLENTY OF HOPE AND HEALING. LET'S GO. 35:28 SO, THERE THEY ARE NOW. THEY'RE ON THEIR FACES. THE GOVERNOR OF EGYPT KNOWS 35:32 EXACTLY WHO THESE 10 MEN ARE. AND IN THAT SPLIT SECOND, JOSEPH DECIDES, "I'M GONNA HAVE TO PUT 35:39 A PLAN TOGETHER." "YO!" 'CAUSE, SEE, HE HAS TO KNOW -- 35:46 HAVE THEY CHANGED? ARE THEY TRANSFORMED? "YO! 35:49 I KNOW WHY YOU GUYS ARE HERE! YOU'RE JUST A BUNCH OF CANAANITE SPIES. 35:53 THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE. YOU WANT TO SEEK THE LAND OUT. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'M GONNA DO. 35:57 I'M GONNA PUT YOU IN PRISON." HE NEEDS TIME TO THINK. AND SO, INTO THE DUNGEON -- INTO 36:04 THE DUNGEON THAT JOSEPH SPENT THREE YEARS IN, HIS BROTHERS WILL NOW SPEND THREE DAYS IN, 36:10 BROODING OVER -- GUESS WHAT, THEY KNOW SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT. IT MUST BE WHAT WE DID. 36:19 THREE DAYS LATER, THEY'RE BACK UP. JOSEPH ANNOUNCES, "ALL RIGHT, 36:22 GENTLEMEN. LOOKIT. I'VE HAD A CHANGE OF MIND. 36:24 I'M NOT -- I'M NOT GONNA PUT YOU ALL IN JAIL. I'M GONNA KEEP ONE OF YOU HERE 36:27 IN PRISON." AND HE LOOKS AT SIMEON, THE MOST CRUEL OF HIS BROTHERS. 36:30 HE LOOKS AT SIMEON. HE SAYS, "I'M PUTTING YOU, SIR, IN PRISON. 36:33 AND LISTEN TO ME, GUYS. I'M GONNA HOLD HIM HERE UNTIL YOU BRING THAT LITTLE BROTHER 36:37 YOU TOLD ME ABOUT. UNTIL YOU BRING THAT LITTLE BROTHER HERE, HE'S STAYING. 36:40 IF YOU NEVER COME BACK, YOUR BROTHER ROTS IN JAIL. DO YOU HEAR ME? 36:44 YOU'VE BEEN LYING THROUGH YOUR TEETH. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING." 36:47 SIMEON IS TAKEN OFF. AND NINE BOYS GO BACK TO THE RANCH AND WOEFULLY RECITE TO 36:56 PAPA WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN EGYPT. AND JACOB -- JACOB CANNOT UNDERSTAND THIS. 37:03 LOOK AT CHAPTER 43. "ISRAEL," VERSE 6. THAT WOULD BE JACOB... 37:27 PSSH! HOWEVER LONG IT TOOK TO CONSUME THE GRAIN, IT GOT CONSUMED. 37:34 AND THE FAMINE IS ONLY WORSE. IT IS NOT ABATING IN CANAAN. JACOB CALLS THE BOYS TOGETHER. 37:42 "GUYS, PLEASE. GET MORE GRAIN. WE'RE OUT!" "PAPA, NO BENJAMIN, NO GRAIN. 37:49 DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?" AND THEN IT IS THAT JUDAH -- AND BY THE WAY, JUDAH IS THE BROTHER 38:00 WHO THOUGHT UP THE IDEA OF SELLING JOSEPH AS A SLAVE. THEN IT IS JUDAH STEPS UP, AND 38:08 HE SAYS, "DAD, I PLEDGE TO YOU MY LIFE FOR THE LIFE OF BENJAMIN. 38:16 WE HAVE TO GO, PAPA. WE HAVE TO." JUDAH?! 38:21 SOMETHING MUST BE HAPPENING TO THE BOYS. HOW DIFFERENT THEIR RECEPTION, 38:30 BY THE WAY, WHEN THEY GET BACK TO EGYPT. [ SCOFFS ] 38:32 THEY ARE IMMEDIATELY TOLD, "THE GOVERNOR IS THROWING YOU A BANQUET." 38:35 AND THE DINNER WAS A SMASHING SUCCESS! AND COINCIDENTALLY, "HAVE YOU 38:40 NOTICED, GUYS, WE'RE ALL SITTING IN THE ORDER OF OUR AGES? WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?" 38:47 AND THEN BENJAMIN, STRANGELY ENOUGH -- HE GOT FIVE TIMES AS MUCH FOOD AS THE REST OF THE 38:53 BROTHERS. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW HE COULD EAT FIVE TIMES MORE FOOD, BUT HE 38:57 GOT FIVE TIMES AS MUCH. AND THE BROTHERS AREN'T -- THEY'RE NOT BOTHERED. 39:00 "HEY! YOU GO!" [ LAUGHTER ] 39:04 BUT THERE IS ONE MORE TEST THE PRIME MINISTER MUST RENDER. HE MUST KNOW. 39:15 WHAT WOULD THEY DO WITH THIS BENJAMIN? ARE THEY STILL THAT RAGTAG BAND 39:21 OF ANGRY, JEALOUS MEN? WOULD THEY SELL BENJAMIN, TOO? HE NEEDS TO KNOW. 39:30 THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THE TEST OF THE SILVER CHALICE. JOSEPH'S PERSONAL ATTENDANT 39:36 TAKES THAT PRIZED PIECE OF THE GOVERNOR AND STICKS IT IN ONE -- SHH! 39:41 One of the brother's bags. THE BOYS LEAVE EGYPT. THEIR DONKEY'S LOADED. 39:47 I MEAN, IT IS HAPPY, HAPPY HOME TIME. ZIP-A-DEE-DOO-DAH, 39:51 ZIP-A-DEE-DAY AS THEY HEAD OUT OF TOWN. JUST A COUPLE MILES OUT, 39:55 STRANGELY ENOUGH, THEY HEAR THE SOUND OF POUNDING HOOVES AND A CLOUD OF DUST. 40:00 AND IN THE DUST IS THIS STALLION, AND THE PERSONAL ATTENDANT OF JOSEPH JUMPS OFF. 40:05 "SOMEBODY HAS STOLEN THE MASTER'S SILVER CHALICE!" THEY MEN ARE INCENSED. 40:10 "WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY?! I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, IF YOU CAN FIND IT IN ANY OF THESE BAGS, 40:14 YOU KILL THE GUY YOU FIND IT IN." "DEAL." 40:17 HE SAID, "ALL RIGHT." AND WITH A FLAIR FOR DRAMA, HE STARTS WITH THE ELDEST. 40:27 HE STARTS WITH REUBEN. 40:29 AND SLOWLY, AGONIZINGLY SLOWLY, HE GOES THROUGH ALL THE BAGS 40:35 UNTIL, FINALLY, THERE'S ONLY BENJAMIN'S LEFT. 40:38 HE OPENS -- UNTIES THE NECK, REACHES INTO THE GRAIN. 40:45 CATCHING THE GLINT OF THE AFTERNOON SUN IS THAT SILVER 40:48 CHALICE, DRIPPING WITH GRAIN AS HE HOLDS IT UP. 40:51 AND THERE IS A COLLECTIVE GASP. [ SIGHS ] NOW, THIS WAS NEW FOR ME. 41:02 CARLYLE B. HAYNES SUGGESTS -- I THINK THERE'S SOMETHING TO THIS. CARLYLE B. HAYNES SUGGESTS THAT 41:11 THE BROTHERS HAVE TO ASSUME BENJAMIN STOLE THE CUP. I MEAN, HOW ELSE -- HOW ELSE DID 41:19 HE GET IT? THAT'S WHY IT MAKES IT EVEN MORE COMPELLINGLY, COMPELLINGLY 41:26 PERSUASIVE THAT ALL THE BROTHERS, ALL 10 OF THEM, DETERMINE TO GO BACK WITH 41:33 BENJAMIN TO THE GOVERNOR. 22 YEARS AGO, "YO, BEN! WE'LL MISS YOU! 41:38 WE'LL SEND YOU POSTCARDS! WE'LL LET DADDY KNOW WHERE YOU ARE." 41:42 SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO THOSE BOYS AS NOW 11 BROTHERS RETURN TO THE GOVERNOR'S PALACE. 41:53 AND GUESS WHAT? JUDAH STEPS FORWARD TO SPEAK. THAT'S RIGHT. JUDAH. 42:02 HAYNES DESCRIBES THIS AS "WITHOUT MATCH FOR NOBILITY AND FOR NATURAL ELOQUENCE IN THE 42:07 WORLD'S LITERATURE, IN ANY LANGUAGE, SACRED OR PROFANE." WHAT YOU ABOUT TO READ IS 42:12 STUNNINGLY ELOQUENT. NO WORDS ARE GOING ON THE SCREEN. 42:16 I WANT YOU TO READ IN YOUR BIBLE. THIS IS SO POWERFUL. 42:19 NO WORDS ON THE SCREEN. I'M GONNA READ JUDAH TO YOU, WITH YOU. 42:23 THIS IS CHAPTER 44. WE PICK IT UP IN VERSE 18. "THEN JUDAH WENT UP TO HIM," THE 42:34 GOVERNOR, "AND SAID, 'PARDON YOUR SERVANT, MY LORD, LET ME SPEAK A WORD TO MY LORD. 42:42 DO NOT BE ANGRY WITH YOUR SERVANT, THOUGH YOU ARE EQUAL TO PHARAOH HIMSELF. 42:47 MY LORD ASKED HIS SERVANTS, 'DO YOU HAVE A FATHER OR A BROTHER?' AND WE ANSWERED, 'WE HAVE AN 42:51 AGED FATHER, AND THERE IS A YOUNG SON BORN TO HIM IN HIS OLD AGE. 42:55 HIS BROTHER IS DEAD, AND HE IS THE ONLY ONE OF HIS MOTHER'S SONS LEFT, AND HIS FATHER LOVES 42:59 HIM.' THEN YOU SAID TO YOUR SERVANTS, 'BRING HIM DOWN TO ME SO I CAN 43:03 SEE HIM FOR MYSELF.' AND WE SAID TO MY LORD, 'THE BOY CANNOT LEAVE HIS FATHER; IF HE 43:09 LEAVES HIM, HIS FATHER WILL DIE.' BUT YOU TOLD YOUR SERVANTS, 43:12 'UNLESS YOUR YOUNGEST BROTHER COMES DOWN WITH YOU, YOU WILL NOT SEE MY FACE AGAIN.' 43:16 WHEN WE WENT BACK TO YOUR SERVANT MY FATHER, WE TOLD HIM WHAT MY LORD HAD SAID. 43:23 THEN OUR FATHER SAID, 'GO BACK AND BUY A LITTLE MORE FOOD.' BUT WE SAID, 'WE CANNOT GO 43:28 DOWN, PAPA. ONLY IF OUR YOUNGEST BROTHER IS WITH US WILL WE GO. 43:31 WE CANNOT SEE THE MAN'S FACE UNLESS OUR YOUNGEST BROTHER IS WITH US.' 43:35 YOUR SERVANT MY FATHER SAID TO US, 'YOU KNOW THAT MY WIFE BORE ME TWO SONS. 43:43 ONE OF THEM WENT AWAY FROM ME, AND I SAID, "HE HAS SURELY BEEN TORN TO PIECES." 43:47 I HAVE NOT SEEN HIM SINCE. IF YOU TAKE THIS ONE FROM ME TOO AND HARM COMES TO HIM, YOU WILL 43:52 BRING MY GRAY HEAD DOWN TO THE GRAVE IN MISERY.' SO NOW, MY LORD, IF THE BOY IS 44:00 NOT WITH US... MY FATHER, WHOSE LIFE IS CLOSELY BOUND UP WITH THE BOY'S LIFE, 44:07 IF HE SEES THAT THE BOY IS NOT THERE, MY LORD, HE WILL DIE. YOUR SERVANTS WILL BRING THE 44:15 GRAY HEAD OF MY FATHER DOWN TO THE GRAVE IN SORROW. MY LORD, YOUR SERVANT 44:21 GUARANTEED THE BOY'S SAFETY TO MY FATHER. I SAID, 'IF I DO NOT BRING HIM 44:26 BACK TO YOU, I WILL BEAR THE BLAME BEFORE YOU, MY FATHER, ALL MY LIFE!' 44:30 SO THEN, PLEASE, PLEASE LET YOUR SERVANT REMAIN HERE AS MY LORD'S SLAVE IN PLACE OF THE BOY, AND 44:35 LET THE BOY RETURN WITH HIS BROTHERS. HOW CAN I GO BACK TO MY FATHER 44:39 IF THE BOY IS NOT WITH ME? NO! DO NOT LET ME SEE THE MISERY 44:43 THAT WOULD COME TO MY FATHER." SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED. SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO THESE 44:56 BOYS. MAKES YOU CRY JUST READING IT. NOW I'LL PUT IT ON THE SCREEN. 45:05 "THEN JOSEPH..." OH! CAN YOU FEEL WHAT JOSEPH IS 45:10 FEELING? 45:59 AND THEN, LOOK AT 14. LOOK AT 14... 46:20 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THERE IS ONLY WORD TO DESCRIBE SO PROFOUNDLY AN EMOTIONAL MOMENT. 46:27 THERE IS ONLY ONE WORD, AND THAT WORD IS THE GLORIOUS WORD "FORGIVENESS." 46:33 FORGIVENESS. MINGLING THEIR TEARS, 12 GROWN MEN HUGGING, LAUGHING, AND 46:44 CRYING AT THE SAME TIME. "PATRIARCHS AND PROPHETS." 46:48 PUT IT ON THE SCREEN. THE BROTHERS "HUMBLY CONFESSED 46:50 THEIR SIN AND ENTREATED JOSEPH'S FORGIVENESS. 46:53 THEY HAD LONG SUFFERED ANXIETY AND REMORSE, AND NOW THEY 46:57 REJOICED." "HE IS STILL ALIVE! WE ARE NOT GUILTY OF HIS 47:01 DEATH!" CAN ANGER KILL YOU? LET'S REPHRASE THE QUESTION. 47:11 CAN NOT FORGIVING KILL YOU? THE ANSWER TO BOTH IS "YES." JOT IT DOWN, WILL YOU? 47:20 BASED ON THE SCIENCE OF RESEARCH DONE AT DUKE UNIVERSITY, THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION," 47:24 WRITE IT DOWN, "NOW DECLARES ANGER A RISK FACTOR ALONGSIDE OTHER MARKERS LIKE CHOLESTEROL, 47:30 EXERCISE, AND NUTRITION." KEEP YOUR PEN MOVING... 47:43 YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE ANGER TRIGGERS THE ADRENAL GLANDS -- FIGHT OR 47:47 FLIGHT. AND IT RELEASES -- THOSE GLANDS RELEASE A CHEMICAL MESSENGER 47:52 CALLED CORTISOL, WHICH IS A HUGE STRESS INDICATOR, CONTROLLING BLOOD SUGAR AND BLOOD PRESSURE, 47:58 IMMUNE RESPONSES, AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTION. THE PROBLEM WITH UNRESOLVED 48:03 ANGER IS IT KEEPS THE SWITCH ON IN YOUR LIFE, AND THOSE ADRENAL GLANDS JUST KEEP PUMPING AND 48:09 PUMPING AND PUMPING. AND THAT CHEMICAL BEGINS TO SLOWLY TEAR DOWN YOUR VERY BODY. 48:15 IT'S KILLING YOU. ANGER CAN KILL. WHICH IS WHY THE SOLUTION TO 48:23 ANGER -- I LOVE THIS. THE SOLUTION TO ANGER IS FORGIVENESS. 48:30 SAMANTHA BOARDMAN, M.D. SHE WROTE AN ONLINE PIECE ENTITLED "THE HEALING POWER OF 48:34 FORGIVENESS." PUT THE WORDS ON THE SCREEN FOR 48:36 YOU. "FORGIVENESS IS LINKED WITH 48:38 LOWER --" I WANT YOU TO CIRCLE, IN YOUR STUDY GUIDE, HOW MANY 48:40 TIMES YOU SEE THE WORD "LOWER"... 48:56 KEEP READING. 49:05 "OVERALL WELL-BEING IS LINKED WITH FORGIVENESS, AS ARE HIGHER 49:09 QUALITY MARRIAGES..." REMEMBER, WE'RE ALL ABOUT 49:12 RELATIONSHIPS NOW. "HIGHER QUALITY MARRIAGES AND 49:14 COMMITTED ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS." 49:16 ALL OF US IN THIS ROOM ARE BENEFICIARIES OF FORGIVENESS. 49:25 OH, AND ONE MORE LINE. "FORGIVENESS IS EVEN RELATED TO 49:27 BETTER SLEEP." WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE ABOUT THAT? 49:32 JOT IT DOWN... 49:43 YOU AND I ONLY HAVE ONE CHOICE -- BITTER OR BETTER. AND JOSEPH HAS CHOSEN THE 49:50 BETTER PART. FOR, YOU SEE, THE GIFT OF FORGIVENESS -- HERE'S WHAT I'D 49:54 WISH YOU'D TAKE HOME, JUST THIS ONE LINE... 50:09 BECAUSE IT'S ONLY THROUGH FORGIVENESS THAT YOU RELEASE THE 50:12 PERPETRATOR OF YOUR PAIN. IT'S ONLY THROUGH FORGIVENESS 50:17 THAT YOU RELEASE THE INSTIGATOR OF YOUR HURT. 50:19 YOU LET HER GO. 50:20 YOU LET HIM GO INTO THE COMPASSIONATE CARE OF ALMIGHTY GOD. 50:24 YOU CAN NO LONGER HOLD ON TO THAT. IT WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DO. 50:29 IN FACT, I LOVE THE WAY -- LAST LINE FROM TIBBITS. PUT ON THE SCREEN. 50:32 NO RELEASE MEANS EXACTLY WHAT HE'S DESCRIBING HERE. DO YOU SEE THIS? 50:47 YOU KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE HER. 51:01 IT'S LIKE DRINKING RAT POISON AND THEN WAITING FOR THE RAT TO DROP OVER. 51:08 THAT'S WHY THE GIFT OF FORGIVENESS -- COME ON. 51:16 IT'S THE TRUTH OF THE STORY OF JOSEPH AND JESUS, BY THE WAY. JOSEPH FORGAVE HIS BROTHERS. 51:19 JESUS FORGAVE HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS. IN FACT, ON THAT DARK FRIDAY, AS 51:24 THEY ARE PRESS, PUSHING, POUNDING THAT NAIL THROUGH HIS PALM, JESUS IS PRAYING A PRAYER. 51:30 YOU REMEMBER THE PRAYER? "FATHER..." 51:39 DESIRE OF AGES. PUT THAT RIGHT UP BEHIND IT. DESIRE OF AGES. 51:42 I LOVE THIS QUOTE. OH, MY. 52:01 IN CHRIST'S PRAYER AND DEATH, EVERY SIN YOU WILL EVER COMMIT IN YOUR LIFE, PAST, PRESENT, OR 52:07 FUTURE, HAS ALREADY BEEN FORGIVEN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? 52:10 YOU ARE ALREADY FORGIVEN. IT'S THE GOSPEL. YOU'RE ALREADY FORGIVEN. 52:17 WE HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN. LET'S BE HONEST. WE HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN VERY, VERY 52:21 MUCH. GUESS WHAT. WE MUST ALSO FORGIVE VERY, VERY 52:27 MUCH. I END WITH A STORY. STORY ABOUT A BROKEN 52:31 RELATIONSHIP. IT'S A POWERFUL ONE. J. ALLAN PETERSEN TELLS THIS 52:36 STORY IN HIS BOOK, "THE MYTH OF THE GREENER GRASS." HERE'S PETERSEN SETTING THE 52:40 STORY UP. "YEARS AGO, I READ A CLASSIC STORY OF EXCELLENT FORGIVENESS 52:43 THAT MOVES ME AGAIN AS I WRITE IT. THE WOMAN KEPT IT LOCKED IN HER 52:47 HEART FOR HALF A CENTURY BUT SHARED IT WITH DEAR ABBY." YOU REMEMBER HER? 52:52 "DEAR ABBY TO HELP OTHERS IN THE SAME POSITION." HERE WE GO NOW. 52:56 THE WOMAN WRITING. "I WAS 20 AND HE WAS 26. WE HAD BEEN MARRIED TWO YEARS, 53:03 AND I HADN'T DREAMED HE COULD BE UNFAITHFUL. THE AWFUL TRUTH WAS BROUGHT HOME 53:10 TO ME WHEN A YOUNG WIDOW FROM A NEIGHBORING FARM CAME TO TELL ME SHE WAS CARRYING MY HUSBAND'S 53:15 CHILD. MY WORLD COLLAPSED. I WANTED TO DIE. 53:19 I FOUGHT AN URGE TO KILL HER AND HIM. I KNEW THAT WASN'T THE ANSWER. 53:25 I PRAYED FOR STRENGTH AND GUIDANCE, AND IT CAME. I KNEW I HAD TO FORGIVE THIS 53:30 MAN, AND I DID. I FORGAVE HER, TOO. I CALMLY TOLD MY HUSBAND WHAT I 53:35 HAD LEARNED, AND THE THREE OF US WORKED OUT A SOLUTION TOGETHER. WHAT A FRIGHTENED LITTLE 53:40 CREATURE SHE WAS. THE BABY WAS BORN IN MY HOME. EVERYONE THOUGHT I HAD GIVEN 53:44 BIRTH AND THAT MY NEIGHBOR WAS HELPING ME. ACTUALLY, IT WAS THE OTHER WAY 53:47 AROUND. BUT THE WIDOW WAS SPARED HUMILIATION. 53:51 SHE HAD THREE OTHER CHILDREN. AND THE LITTLE BOY WAS RAISED AS MY OWN. 53:55 HE NEVER KNEW THE TRUTH. I HAVE NEVER MENTIONED THIS INCIDENT TO MY HUSBAND. 54:03 IT HAS BEEN A CLOSED CHAPTER IN OUR LIVES FOR 50 YEARS. BUT I HAVE READ THE LOVE AND 54:10 GRATITUDE IN HIS EYES A THOUSAND TIMES." SEE, IT'S TRUE. 54:17 THE GIFT OF FORGIVENESS IS THE SWEETEST REVENGE OF ALL. 54:23 TAKE OUT YOUR CONNECT CARD. PLEASE. 54:27 FOUND IN YOUR WORSHIP BULLETIN.

BUT WE HEAR THE CRY OF OUR LORD 56:29 ON THE CROSS. "FATHER, I BEG OF YOU. FORGIVE THEM. 56:32 THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING." AND KNOWING THAT PRAYER WAS FOR 56:36 US AND WE STAND FORGIVEN, OH, GOD, FREELY AS WE HAVE RECEIVED, NOW FREELY LET US GIVE. 56:46 IS THERE SOMEBODY ON THIS PLANET THAT NEEDS TO HEAR THE WORDS, "I FORGIVE YOU"? 56:54 SEND US WITH JOY.
