Thought
Joseph's oldest brother was Reuben. As the firstborn son, Reuben was in line to become the leader of the entire nation of Israel. Read the above mentioned passages to get a quick glimpse of his life.
Questions

There are three areas in Reuben's life where he chose to be a loser rather than a leader.
#1 - Reuben chose to be a loser in the face of temptation.
1. Read Genesis 35:19-22. What tragedy happened in Jacob's life? (35:19)
2. What tragedy happened in Reuben's life? (35:22)
3. The sin of immorality has great consequences. What three consequences does Proverbs 6:32-33 say come with adultery?
4. How did Joseph handle the same temptation in a very different way? (Genesis 39:7-10)
5. In a few words, what do the following verses say about our personal purity and how we should handle the sin of immorality?
