"And unto Joseph were born two sons (before the coming years of famine), which Asenath the daughter of Potiphera priest of On.
And Joseph called the firstborn Manasseh, for he said, God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
And the second called he Ephraim : For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction. "
Genesis 41: 50-52
This is the last Christmas devotional. You ask me if it was not the case we talk about Jesus, about his birth, ministry, crucifixion, resurrection?
But in the Bible, Joseph of Egypt, is considered a type of Christ. And as Jesus was also betrayed by his brothers, was hated thereof, it was sold into slavery, imprisoned, became Minister of Egypt and for the end forgave his family had made all this up with him. That is why it is considered a prototype of Jesus. I think anyone disagree?
I talked about forgiveness and love. Joseph loved his family and understood everything that had happened to him was the hand of God guiding the facts so he could save his family from death by fome.Leia:
"Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves for your eyes you sold me hither, for to preserve life, God sent me before you."
Genesis 45: 5
An example of Jesus or not? D forgiveness beyond any limit I know, forgiveness of acts, facts and transgressions! What sara a family or country and nation is forgiveness.
An act of love beyond the pain, José tells them to come live in Egypt, for there would still be plenty of famine in the land:
"Because there have been two years of famine in the land, and yet there are five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
So it was not you that sent me hither, but God ... "
Genesis 45: 6-8
Forgiveness restores the love of God unites what was once broken!
President, King, Prince, Minister and Leader. His family is his greatest asset, but God, through his son Jesus Christ, also wants you to be part of your family. Believe in him, Jesus and you will be part of God's family.
Before finalizing something that Joseph told his brothers that goes for everyone:
"Go in peace and not fight in the way." After a time reconciliation and restoration takes place a greater rift between the family. Because? Because in a normal conversation, someone begins to want to find out who was to blame, and this gap that Satan has, a fight happens and it gets worse the situation. Do not talk about the past! For God will erase from your heart's past suffering and pain!
Look what God has done:
"And they took their cattle, and their goods which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him."
Genesis 46: 6
Joseph and his whole family went to Egypt, for so God decreed. José them prepared cars and conditions, and was not unprepared, but as soon as we said: Let's Go! ... his entire family moved in with him in another land.
Peaceful and happy Christmas! Blessed New Year!
