One of the greatest lessons of forgiveness is the story of Joseph. His own brothers were jealous and wanted to kill him. They ended up selling him into slavery in Egypt. Joseph set an excellent example of forgiveness when he willingly forgave all of his brothers. Forgiveness is one the main ways we can affect and change our lives as well as the lives of others.
