β€œYou intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.”

β€” Genesis 50:20 (NIV)

More about these Bible coloring pages

The moment the brothers conspired against Joseph is always a gripping part of our lesson. I remember when my third graders asked why they did it. These coloring pages, featuring six images, help illustrate their actions and God's ultimate plan. One page shows Joseph being sold, while another captures his dreams. As I explained the story, I pointed out how Joseph later said, 'You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.' (Genesis 50:20). These pages give kids a chance to reflect on jealousy and forgiveness while they color. I keep a printed copy in my Sunday school binder for weeks just like this. The kids enjoy using bright colors to bring the story to life.
