Today is the first day of 3 day lent. 2 years back, at this time we were in Puthupally.
Genesis 44 : Joseph's cup
Joseph gives his brothers enough corn and they set out to go. While they were getting ready to go, he goes to his chief servant and tells him to put money back into the brothers' sacs. Also tells him to place his silver cup in Benjamin's bag. Unaware of these happenings, the brothers set out on their way to Canaan.
In a short while, they see Egyptians racing towards them. They recognize the main person as Joseph's servant. They ask him why he has come. He says that they have stolen his master's silver cup. They deny it and say that it is impossible. The Egyptians search all the bags and find the silver cup in Benjamin's bag. The brothers are filled with sorrow. They return back to Egypt.
The brothers reach Joseph's house in Egypt. Joseph questions them about the cup and says that the person who stole the cup will be his slave and others can return. Then Judah says that he will take the blame. He will tell him about Jacob and how he might die of heartbreak if he hears this news.
