SUMMARY
Joseph was attacked by his brothers and sold into slavery. Only two brothers spoke up, only one in Joseph's defense. The others brothers remain silent. If we are not careful we can be like the brothers and be bystanders. Instead of standing by when others get hurt we should speak up and be an upstander.
