Dreamer - The Life of Joseph - Ep 05 - Gn 41:1-36 Midtown Church
-
- Christianity
Genesis 41 is the most pivotal chapter in Joseph’s story. Some say that it’s one of the most pivotal chapters in the entire Bible. It’s also one of the most misinterpreted. We will address that more when we look at the second half of the chapter after Easter. But to give you a taste, many see chapter 41 as a rags to riches story; a, good things happen to good people, story; a, hang in there long enough and everything will turn out great, story. And who doesn’t like a story like that?But what if luck had nothing to do with it? And although we will see the exaltation of Joseph in this chapter, he is still in Egypt, separated from his family, given an Egyptian name, an Egyptian wife whose father is a priest of On - On was the centre of sun worship - and has a couple of sons with her. And so, I wonder about the rags to riches idea. In this message we focus most on the things revealed about God in this season of Joseph's life.
