PART 3 OF A 3 PART SERIES
GENESIS 50: 20-21
FOCAL POINT: CHRIST, OUR MODEL OF FORGIVENESS
INTRODUCTION:
THIS SERIES CONCLUDES WITH THE LIFE OF JOSEPH (REMOVER OR INCREASER).
LISTED BELOW ARE BRIEFS FACTS ON JOSEPH’S LIFE:
A) HE WAS THE A SON OF JACOB AND RACHEL (GENESIS 30).
B) JACOB LOVED JOSEPH ABOVE ALL HIS SIBLINGS AND DEVISED A SPECIAL COAT PROVING HIS PREFERENCE (GENESIS 37).
C) ANGER AROSE AMONG HIS SIBLINGS WHEN JOSEPH RELAYED A DREAM TO THEM INDICATING HE WOULD BE EXALTED ABOVE THEM (GENESIS 37).
D) HIS BROTHERS SOLD HIM INTO SLAVERY. HE EVENTUALLY ENDED UP IN EGYPT (GENESIS 37)
E) THROUGH A SERIES OF EVENTS AND AN INTERPRETATION OF THE PHARAOH’S DREAM, JOSEPH WAS APPOINTED THE EQUIVALENT OF A PRIME MINISTER (GENESIS 39-41).
F) DUE TO A SEVERE DRAUGHT IN THE REGION, HIS BROTHERS CAME TO EGYPT TO BUY GRAIN (GENESIS 42).
G) JOSEPH ULTIMATELY REVEALED HIMSELF TO HIS BROTHERS, FORGAVE THEM AND ASSISTED THEM IN THEIR DISTRESS. (GENESIS 45).
GENESIS 50: 20-21:
GOD CAN TURN DIFFICULT, ADVERSE ISSUES INTO GOOD AND RIGHT THE WRONGS.
JOSEPH’S BROTHERS FEARED HIM AFTER REVEALING HIMSELF TO THEM. THEY SUSPECTED GREAT ANGER AND FEARSOME REPRISAL. JUST THE OPPOSITE OCCURRED: JOSEPH FORGAVE THEM.
JOSEPH’S RESPONSE TO A TRAVESTY CONVEYS A THEOLOGICAL THEME RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE SCRIPTURES. IT WAS A CLASSIC STATEMENT OF GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY OVER ALL THE AFFAIRS OF MAN. WHAT WAS MEANT FOR EVIL TURNED OUT FOR GOOD.
READ ACTS 2: 23-24 JOSEPH IS A TYPE OF CHRIST. OUT OF A GREAT TRAVESTY CAME SOMETHING GOOD THROUGH CHRIST. LIKE A REPENTANT SINNER COMING TO CHRIST, OUR PAST SINS ARE FORGIVEN. GOD WELCOMES US INTO HIS SAVING GRACE. READ JOHN 3:17 “FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO JUDGE THE WORLD, BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED.”
JOSEPH, A TYPE OF CHRIST, WAS A MODEL OF FORGIVENESS. VINDICTIVENESS WAS NOT IN HIS VOCABULARY.
LUKE 23: 34 JESUS SAID, “FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.”
APPLICATION: HOW WILLING ARE YOU TO FORGIVE WHEN WRONGED?
