Session 159: Genesis 38:12-50:26
from Catholic Doctrine Bible Study Hosted by Jim Hawk
Joseph is arguably the most Christ-like character of the Old Testament: Faithful to his father Exiled to Egypt Rejected/ betrayed by his own people Sold for silver Stripped of his tunic Sent into a pit Faced with temptation but virtuous Goes thru tribulations Weeps Punished along with 2 other convicts Saves those who rejected him Forgives those who rejected him Becomes a blessing to all the nations Is ultimately acknowledged as a savior Speaks more of God than anyone in Genesis- sees the “big picture.” Joseph is a great example to all of us; virtuous living, trusting God’s way vs. our own way, forgiving others, caring for others— even those who have persecuted us.
