The life of Joseph is one of the Bible’s most cherished stories. After a beloved son is betrayed by his resentful brothers, he must endure years of slavery, false accusations, and wrongful imprisonment. At every turn, Joseph’s faith is tested, culminating in a pivotal question: Will he save his brothers in their hour of need? In this dramatic telling, Dr. R.C.

As Jesus was celebrating his final Passover meal, he made some bold statements. First, he took the bread and said, "This is my body." Then he took the cup, saying, "This is my blood." Next, he commanded the disciples to eat and drink in remembrance of him. What did Jesus mean? Do the bread and wine literally become his body and blood? What happens when Christians take the Lord’s Supper?
