WAEC Christian Religious Studies (CRS) 2015 Theory — Question 2

Model answer

As a result of famine in Israel, Joseph's brothers had to travel to seek corn in Egypt. On their second visit, Joseph revealed himself to his brothers as the one they sold into slavery. Joseph wept aloud in front of his brothers and inquired about his father. He told them that God sent him before them in order to preserve life - his predicament was a divine scheme or plan. Although what his brothers did was evil, God had turned it to good. Joseph invited his family to settle in Goshen, gave them abundant food and clothes, and wept tears of joy over Benjamin and the rest of his brothers, kissing them and assuring them of his love.
