Purpose Statement: I think one of the "seven deadly sins" is jealousy, which may be a temptation for many of us.
Jacob loved his son Joseph more than all his other sons and showed his preference by making him a beautiful coat or robe (Genesis 37). The coat became a symbol of his brothers' jealousy, causing them to sell him as a slave. It may be difficult to estimate how great a problem jealousy is in our society, however it may be extensive enough to warrant better understanding of the phenomenon and what we can do about it.
