It is impossible to judge where our life is going by one, single traumatic event. But, there usually comes a day when we are able to look back and say, “Now I understand.” Today, we are going to look at that day that changed Joseph’s life forever.
Today, as we conclude our study of the life of Joseph, we will discover the two greatest gifts any parent can leave his or her child.
Each one of us is trying to influence someone else — which makes us a “leader.” At the same time, each of us is following some kind of leader whether it is in the workplace, the church, or the family. What makes someone an effective leader worth following? The story of Joseph’s settlement of his family in Egypt and his continued leadership in the global famine answers that question.
While the basis of our salvation is God’s grace alone, the evidence of our salvation is our obedience to God. The story of how Joseph’s brothers and father reacted to Joseph’s forgiveness illustrates two ways God’s grace can change our lives.
