Gregory Pouncey suggests, “When tempted to Sin”, to start the lesson with 10 characteristics of integrity. My sense is that his plan is focused on the sin of adultery, although he also explores the issue of injustice. Joseph was a victim of injustice, but surely Potiphar’s wife was the one more tempted?
Joseph was suddenly dropped into the strange new culture of Potiphar’s house. What survival tips would you have given him? Have a positive attitude? Be patient—help is on the way? Adjust, realize that things will never be the same as they were back home? Make the best of the situation—you’ll get over it? I ask this because I want the class to discover Joseph's underlying motivation. What do you think motivated Joseph to act the way he did?
