Joseph and his Brothers

Despite his brothers selling him into slavery, Joseph forgave them, demonstrating God's own love for us. We have fallen so short of God's perfect standards - even our best efforts mean nothing. But God didn't want to remain separated from us forever. So He sent his son Jesus Christ to die for us, paying the punishment we deserved as sinful, rebellious children, and thus reconciling us to God. Everyone who accepts Jesus's sacrifice is welcomed into communion and everlasting life with God. But those who reject Him will be forever separated from Him in hell.

It is not our goodness that saves us. Joseph's brothers hadn't done anything to make Joseph love them. But it is Jesus who makes us right with God.
