Why the Rainbow Coat is Important to the Bible Lesson:
Begin by reading the Bible story of Joseph to your child(ren). Additionally, you may need to adjust some of the storytelling based on the level of your reader. Be sure to point out that Joseph was deeply loved by his parents. Ensure that it is clear that only he was given the special coat . Also important to note, not only did Joseph have a nice jacket but he also had the ability to understand dreams. Meanwhile, his brothers had boring old smocks. As a result, instead of being happy for their brother, they were angry and jealous.
Following the story, hand your child the paper napkin. Continue by asking them to show you on the napkin what the brothers did to the jacket in response to their anger. Furthermore, the brothers not only ruined the jacked but they sold their brother into a life of slavery and separation from his family. In contrast, to God’s favor we see Joseph having to be brave as he has to trust God to deliver him.
