About this Bible story

Joseph, one of Jacob's sons, faced many challenges but remained faithful to God. Despite being sold into slavery, he later saved his family during a famine. As Genesis 50:20 reminds us, 'You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.'

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

β€” Genesis 50:20 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While the kids color, ask them, 'What would you have done if you were in Joseph's shoes?' Focus on Joseph's journey from betrayal to forgiveness, referencing how God's plan unfolded. Gather colored pencils and crayons, and consider a follow-up activity where they share their colored pages and thoughts on forgiveness.

More about these Bible coloring pages

With the verse 'You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good' (Genesis 50:20) in mind, I often remind my students of Joseph's resilience. During our last class, we discussed how Joseph forgave his brothers, which is illustrated beautifully in these pages. Each image captures a significant part of his story, like Joseph’s colorful coat and his time in Egypt. My third graders enjoy coloring while I read the story to them, often asking questions about forgiveness and trust in God. I keep a set of these joseph coloring pages in my Sunday school binder for easy access. It's a fantastic way to reinforce the lesson as they work on their art.
