About this Bible story

Joseph, the favored son, received a beautiful coat from his father. His brothers were jealous and plotted against him. But God had a plan for Joseph, as we see in Genesis 50:20, where Joseph says, 'You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.'

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.

Genesis 50:20 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While the kids color, ask them, 'What do you think Joseph learned from his brothers?' Highlight how Joseph showed forgiveness later in life, connecting to the Bible verse about God's intention for good. Plan for a 30-minute session, and consider following up with a craft on forgiveness.

More about these Bible coloring pages

When I pulled out the Joseph Coat of Many Colors coloring page last week, my students' eyes lit up. The page shows Joseph proudly wearing his coat, which is a great conversation starter about favoritism and family dynamics. One of the images depicts his brothers looking envious, and I reminded the kids how jealousy can lead to poor choices. We discussed how, despite their actions, God had a purpose for Joseph in the end. 'You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good' (Genesis 50:20) is a powerful lesson of hope. I suggest printing these pages for our upcoming Sunday school class. I'll have crayons ready, and we can discuss the message of the story as they color, reinforcing the idea that God can bring good from difficult situations.
