Consider This:
- How does Joseph demonstrate grace?
- How do you define grace?
- Why does God expect us to show grace to one another?
- What would Joseph have done if he wasn’t graceful?
Treasure Application:

- Do you think Joseph’s support helped Mary to heal from her mistreatment at the hands of the community?
