Thursday: “I am Joseph Your Brother”

Sabbath School Net Posted on by avatar

Read Genesis 45:1-28. What lessons of love, faith, and hope can be found in this story? It is at that very moment, when Judah talked about the “evil” that would fall upon ’avi, “my father” (Genesis 44:34), that Joseph “cried out” (Genesis 45:1, NKJV) and then “made himself known” to his brothers. This expression, often used to refer to God’s self-revelation (Exodus … Continue reading –>

Wednesday: The Divination Cup

Sabbath School Net Posted on by avatar

Read Genesis 44:1-34. Why did Joseph put the divination cup in Benjamin’s sack and not in another brother’s sack? This story parallels the preceding one.

This time, however, Joseph adds the strange command to put his precious cup in Benjamin’s … Continue reading –>

Tuesday: Joseph and Benjamin

Read Genesis 42:1-38. What happened here, and how does it reveal the providence of God, even despite human evil and malfeasance? The famine obliges Jacob to send his sons to Egypt to buy grain.

Sunday: Joseph’s Rise to Power

Sabbath School Net Posted on by avatar

For Joseph, Pharaoh’s dreams revealed what God was “about to do” (Genesis 41:28, NKJV) in the land. Joseph, however, does not call on Pharaoh to believe in Joseph’s God. Instead, Joseph’s immediate response is action. Joseph proposes an economic program. Interestingly, only the economic part of Joseph’s discourse is retained by Pharaoh, who seems more interested in … Continue reading –>
