Fellowship and serviceThen he [Jacob] said to him [Joseph], "Go now and see about thewelfare of your brothers and the welfare of the flock; and bring wordback to me." So he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he cameto Shechem (Genesis 37:14).Joseph lived in Hebron which, in Hebrew, means "the place offellowship." Joseph dwelt with His father at the place of fellowshipand was sent by his father to seek the welfare of his brothers.Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who,although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality withGod a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of abondservant, and being made in the likeness of men (Philippians 2:5-7).For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son thatwhoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life (John3:16).Jesus dwelt with His Father in the place of fellowship and was sent byHis Father to seek the welfare of His brothers.His brothers' sinAnd Joseph brought back a bad report about them to his father(Genesis 37:2).Joseph testified to his father about the sins of his brothers, and hisbrothers hated him."If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hatedyou. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; butbecause you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world,therefore the world hates you" (John 15:18-19).Jesus testified about the sins of His brothers and so they hated Him.
