A Dysfunctional Family (1 of 5)
Series: The Gospel According to Joseph
Scott Maze
Genesis 37
If you think you're job is hard, think about this... Just like an NFL quarterback, NASA will schedule the launch of a rocket in an open window. A launch window is determined for each rocket and the window has several factors. Imagine the complications in attempting to place a land rover on the planet, Mars. Nothing in space stands still. Everything is either moving or orbits around something else. In trying to determine your launch window, you must also account for comets or asteroids. And then, keep in mind that the earth - from where you'll launch your rocket - is itself spinning 1,000 miles per hour! And lastly, NASA engineers even have to coordinate with the US Air Force so that the rocket doesn't hit any other planes! Now, if it's hard to launch an aircraft into space, marvel at the engineering of God as He moves one life on one purpose through the eye of million needles. This is a remarkable story of how God's hand moves Joseph into place.
Today, we launch into a series on a most interesting life - the story of Joseph. This beautiful story has attracted a lot of attention through the years. Andrew Lloyd Weber thought so highly of the story that he developed the story of Joseph into a Broadway musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The story of Joseph has an intrinsic beauty. But few people in the modern day retelling of the story go beyond the surface to see the real beauty of the story.
Let the narrative draw you in. Get involved in the story and really work to understand it. If you do, you'll look at your life differently. You'll have a new understanding and a new perspective on your life. We think we know the story and have heard it all before. Yet, it's because of this very familiarity that the meaning and beauty of Joseph's story escapes us.
These are the generations of Jacob.
