等孩子(10分钟) 在黑板上画出以下图表。

当孩子们到达时，给他们一张纸和一支铅笔，让他们列一个与黑板上相似的清单。告诉他们要认真思考，尽可能多地记下他们能想起的名字和事件。根据需要，帮助孩子们，使每个人的名单上至少有一个名字。这个活动将在本课后面用到。

背经节(12分钟)

爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒；爱是不自夸，不张狂，不作不合宜的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒，不计算人的恶，不因不义而欢乐，却与真理同欢乐；凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。-哥林多前书13:4-7

继续背整个段落，集中精力。孩子们现在应该背到第6节。

故事与讨论(20分钟)

第一部分

引言：

今天我们的故事是关于一个大家庭的。事实上，有十二个兄弟。他们的父亲叫雅各，也叫以色列。有这么多兄弟，肯定会有很多争吵、打架和竞争。毫无疑问，有很多机会让人对别人生气。但以色列爱一个儿子，约瑟，胜过所有其他儿子。以色列为约瑟做了一件非常特别的彩色袍子。约瑟甚至告诉他的兄弟们他所做的梦，在梦里他们都向他下拜。由于以色列的偏爱和约瑟的梦想，他的兄弟们非常嫉妒和愤怒。当我们阅读时，让我们看看他们做了些什么。

创世记37：12-28

让孩子们从他们的圣经中默读这段话。

问题讨论：

1. 兄弟们是如何表现他们的嫉妒和愤怒的？(他们想杀约瑟）

2. 犹大说服兄弟们不要杀约瑟，而是做什么？(把他卖给旅行商人）

3. 兄弟们是如何表现出他们的嫉妒和愤怒的？

4. 当你与兄弟或姐妹发生分歧时，你通常如何反应？

第二部分

引言：

于是商人们把约瑟带到了埃及。在埃及的时候，约瑟能帮法老解决一个令人困惑的梦。约瑟告诉法老，他的梦意味着将有七年的丰收，随后是七年的饥荒。法老为了感谢约瑟告诉他，就让约瑟负责埃及的所有土地。约瑟智慧地保存了七年丰年期间生产的大量粮食和食物，这样当七年荒年到来时，人们就有足够的食物吃。我们的故事继续于七个荒年刚刚开始。

创世记42：1-8

请一到两名志愿者朗读这段话。

问题讨论：

1. 兄弟们为什么要去埃及？(因为饥荒，要买粮食）

2. 有多少兄弟去了埃及？ (10个，便雅悯留在家里）

3. 当他的兄弟们看到约瑟时，他们做了什么？ (都向他下拜）

4. 你认为约瑟再次见到他的兄弟时有什么感觉？

第三部分

引言：

约瑟看到他的兄弟们无疑很高兴，但他也想看看他的弟弟便雅悯。所以他派一个兄弟带着一些食物回家去找他。最后便雅悯来了，约瑟对他的兄弟们很好，给他们食物，甚至为他们准备了特别的饭菜。但是，他们仍然不知道他们是被多年前卖给商人的兄弟所善待。最后，约瑟不得不让他们知道。

读 创世记45：1-15

问题讨论：

1. 你为什么觉得神偏爱约瑟？ (他的心里没有苦毒或愤怒)

2. 约瑟是如何使用他从神那里得到的智慧和财富的？ (为埃及的饥荒做准备)

3. 对约瑟来说，是对他的兄弟们生气好呢，还是宽容好呢？ (宽容)

4. 约瑟是如何看待他的兄弟们所做的事情的？(他把这一切看作是神计划的一部分）

课堂活动(20分钟)

活动 | 爱的礼物

备选-课堂活动(8分钟)

短剧 | 宽恕的力量

应用(3分钟)

仇恨和愤怒总是在有爱的地方被打败。如果你知道如何宽恕，你的爱将是完美的。爱覆盖所有的罪和错误，就像神通过耶稣基督覆盖我们的罪一样。神因为爱，通过祂儿子的死而宽恕了我们。因此，如果我们不肯原谅，我们怎么能说我们有爱呢？这个星期，向别人表示你爱他们，即使他们没有向你表示爱。如果有人做了对不起你的事，让他们知道原谅比生气要好得多。

下节课

永远是多长时间？两个人可以做多久的好朋友？下周再来了解一下持续到永远的爱。

TRUE LOVE LESSON 3: LOVE IS FORGIVING

In this lesson, the children will learn how to choose love and forgiveness over getting even, through the Old Testament Bible story of Joseph.

TOPICS Love, Forgiveness, Jealousy, Joseph

AS KIDS ARRIVE (10 minutes) Put the following chart on the board.

As the kids arrive, give them a piece of paper and a pencil, and have them make a list similar to that shown on the board. Tell them to think hard, to jot down as many names and events they can remember. Help the kids as needed so everyone has at least one name on their list. This activity will be used later in the lesson.

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes) "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV Continue memorizing the entire passage, concentrating. Kids should now be memorizing verse 6.

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (20 minutes) Part 1 Introduction: Today our story is about a large family. In fact there were twelve brothers. Their father's name was Jacob, also called Israel. With that many brothers surely there was a lot of arguing, fighting, and competition going on. There was no doubt plenty of opportunity for someone to become angry with someone else. But Israel loved one son, Joseph, more than all the others. Israel made a very special colorful robe for him. Joseph even told his brothers about dreams he had where they all bowed down to him. As a result of Israel’s favoritism and Joseph’s dreams, his brothers were extremely jealous and angry. As we read, let's find out what they did.

Genesis 37:12-28 Have the children read this passage silently from their Bibles: Discussion Questions: 1. How did the brothers show their Jealousy and anger? (They wanted to kill Joseph.) 2. What did Judah convince the brothers to do instead of killing Joseph? (Sell him to traveling merchants.) 3. How did the brothers show their Jealousy and anger? 4. When you have a disagreement with a brother or sister, how do you normally react?

Part 2 Introduction: So the merchants took Joseph to Egypt. But while in Egypt, he was able to help the Pharaoh with a puzzling dream. Joseph told the Pharaoh that his dream meant there would be seven years of abundance, followed by seven years of dry famine. The Pharaoh thanked Joseph for telling him about his dream by placing him in charge of all the land of Egypt. Joseph wisely saved a lot of grain and food produced during the seven good years, so that when the seven bad years came, the people would have enough food to eat. The seven bad years just began, as we continue our story.

Genesis 42:1-8 Have one or two volunteers read this passage aloud. Discussion Questions: 1. Why did the brothers go to Egypt? (To buy grain because of the famine.) 2. How many of the brothers traveled to Egypt? (10, Benjamin stayed home.) 3. What did his brothers do when they saw Joseph (Bowed down to him.) 4. How do you think Joseph felt when he saw his brothers again?

Part 3 Introduction: Joseph was no doubt pleased to see his brothers, but he also wanted to see his little brother Benjamin. So he sent one of his brothers back home with some food to get him. Finally Benjamin arrived, and Joseph treated his brothers well, giving them food and even preparing a special meal for them. Still, they didn't know they were being treated well by the brother they sold to merchants many years earlier. Finally, Joseph had to let them know. Read Genesis 45:1-15 Discussion Questions: 1. Why do you feel God favored Joseph? (There was not bitterness or anger in his heart.) 2. How did Joseph use the wisdom and riches he received from God? (Prepared Egypt for the famine.) 3. Was is better for Joseph to be angry with his brothers, or to be forgiving? (Forgiving.) 4. How was Joseph able to look at what his brothers did as good? (He saw it all as part of God's plan.)

CLASS EXERCISE (20 minutes) Gifts of Love (Activity) Click here

ALTERNATE CLASS EXERCISE (8 minutes) Power of Forgiveness (Skit) Click here

APPLICATION (3 minutes) Hate and anger are always defeated where there is love. If you know how to forgive, your love will be perfect. Love covers all sins and wrongdoings, as God covers ours sins through Jesus Christ. God forgives us because of His love only through the death of His Son. So if we do not forgive, how can we say that we have love? This week, show someone that you love them, even if they don't show love to you. And if anyone does something wrong to you, show them how much better it is to forgive than to be upset.

NEXT WEEK How long is forever? How long can two people be best friends? Come back next week to learn about a loving relationship that will last forever.
