Genesis 40:1-23

Quotes:

Walter Brueggemann says: “The world of despair believes that there are no new gifts, no fresh generosity, no possibility of newness of forgiveness, and so life becomes a zero-sum game to see who can stay the longest on top of the heap, all the while knowing that there will be no good outcome to the futile rat race.”

Serene Jones says: “To forgive is to let go of what weighs us down so that we are freed to do the work of love in the world. Freed also to let ourselves be loved.”

Marcus Aurelius: “Does what happened keep you from acting with justice, generosity, self-control, sanity, prudence, honesty, humility, straightforwardness?”
